COUNTING TRACK DEFECTS

This article discusses the development of a system for the New York Central Railroad to measure track irregularities, which uses crosslevel as the parameter of measurement. The readout is given in digital form at the end of any geographic unit desired. Crosslevel limits have not yet been determined. Further improvements include the addition of horizontal and vertical accelerometers to record dynamic action.
