INTEGRAL TYPE MEASURING EQUIPMENT FOR SUPERELEVATION

In measuring superelevation with track inspection car a gyrostabilizer is generally used. The gyrostabilizer is considerably expensive and needs electric power source. So, for a simple mechanical type track inspection car, it is difficult to mount a measuring equipment for superelevation using a gyrostabilizer. A new mechanical integral type measuring equipment which enables measuring the superelevation from twist of track has been made. The equipment needs no source of electric power. The frequency characteristics of the equipment is fairy good for ordinary superelevation, the accuray of mechanical parts being about 10 percent.
