THE UNISTEEL RAIL CONTOROGRAPH

The use of the Unisteel contorograph is described and the unit is photographed. This contorograph has proved more useful than previously available measurement techniques where rail wear is relatively rapid and where a record of the full head contour, including side cutting and plastic flow, is required, rather than just measurement of head height loss.
