      <title>TRACK LOADING FUNDAMENTALS--2 DETERMINATION OF RAIL SECTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/6492</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Various factors affecting rail stress are examined.  The contribution of train speed, traction, and wheel spacing in producing rail stress are considered.  Rail lift and sleeper spacing are also discussed in relation to rail stress.]]></description>

      <title>ALUMINUM CENTER WHEELS FOR RAPID TRANSIT RAIL SERVICE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/31445</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper is a report on the experience with aluminum-center steel rim wheels used on the rapid transit cars on Bay Area Rapid Transit.  These wheels are exhibiting some properties not noticed previously.  Some particular problems encountered are cited and the measures taken to counteract their effect are described.  It is intended as a preliminary report to the industry, with further data to follow, as they become available.]]></description>

      <title>TURNING RAILWAY WHEEL AND TIRE TREADS BY OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/11532</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The restoration of the profile on wheel and tire treads must be accomplished economically and exactly, with the least loss of tread metal.  The mechanical means of measuring wheel profiles and diameters setting the machine tools for the most economic turning down the treads of wheels and tires to the standard profiles assuring concentricity, equal diameters from wheel to wheel and central spacing of the wheel set, is an involved and lengthy process.  This article describes the development of an optical scanning and measuring means of assuring all these essential relations of the turning of wheel and tire profiles, involving the projection on screens of the relative wheel profiles compared to the standard, and the positioning the axle journal shoulders to exact dimension lines.  The turning of the treads and flanges is then accomplished through electronic controls.]]></description>
