THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAIL CORRUGATION MEASURING DEVICE

An instrument for obtaining longitudinal rail profiles, specifically rail corrugations, and the results obtained from the instrument are described. While based on the offset from a chord, the configuration of the chord was chosen so that subsequent processing can correct for the nonuniformity of the chordal response to different wavelengths. Unlike inertial instruments, the chord-based device has no minimum speed limitations.
