STANDARDISATION OF WAGONS. STATIC AND DYNAMIC TESTS CARRIED OUT ON THE PROTOTYPES OF VANS

This report covers the tests carried out at Minden (DB) and at Vitry-sur-Seine (SNCF), on behalf of the enlarged ORE Committee B 12, on two prototype wagons: covered van, type 1, "Uerdingen" Glmmhs 01, DB 257 and two-axled flat wagon, "de Dietrich" SNCF JQhor 122400. The flat wagon was fitted with shock units and had been designed in such a way that the automatic shock- and traction coupler could eventually be fitted without the need for any extensive modifications.
