Accidents have been caused by hot boxes undiscovered by the detector. These incidents involved defects that occurred just before passing the detector, too late to permit the heat to be transmitted to the outside of the journal box. The article describes the experimental device used to verify this assumption and later to test the efficiency of the detectors.
