SHELLY RAIL INVESTIGATION--RESULTS OF ROLLING-LOAD AND SLOW-BEND TESTS

The rolling-load test results obtained in the cradle-type machine on tests conducted between October 1, 1964, and October 1, 1965, are shown. During this period there were no slow-bend tests conducted. The cycles to failure under a wheel load of 50,000 lb. are given for 36 specimens; for the majority of these specimens, hardness values are reported.
