MEASURING LONGITUDINAL WEAR ON JOURNALS

A gauge which permits the longitudinal wear on the journals of railway carriage azles to be measured, has been devised at the shops of the former P.O.-Midi Railways (now South-Western Region, French National Railways). It is designed so that a comparison of the standard with the actual dimensions is easily possible, the difference between the two representing the amount of wear. The use of the device is described and the device is illustrated.
