TYRE PROFILES

Many tests and studies relating to or involving tyre profiles have been carried out either by the various Administrations for their own purposes or as part of the work of ORE Committees. After indicating the advantage of having a single standard profile the report gives a few of the chief results obtained. A comparison between the profiles adopted by the SNCF, the DB and BR shows shows differences of small importance. The development of a sole profile may thus be considered possible, but this can only result from a future exchange of results and knowledge obtained.
