PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN THE DETECTION OF HOT AXLE BOXES ON RAILWAY TRAINS

Outlines of the design concepts of the detection instrumentation followed by an account of the major environmental problems encountered and the solutions devised to overcome them and a brief account of the present status of such equipment are given. A carefully controlled evaluation shows that the performance of the equipment is satisfactory and its availability with minimum maintenance is good.
