MECHANISED MAINTENANCE MACHINE DEVELOPMENT

In the early 1960's a series of machines were introduced which not only consolidated the track but corrected errors in varying degrees depending on how they were used. The Plasser-04, the Plasser-05, the Plasser-AL203, the Plasser 06-32, the Matisa, the Universal C.T.M. and others are described. One aspect of tamping calibration is studied in detail.
