The mutual compression between the wheel andthe rail when under a load has an important bearingon the durability of both and also on the adhesion ofthe wheels when used as drivers. The investigationwas made with various types of cars and locomotivesto determine: the area of contact between the wheeland the rail; the average pressure exerted per squareinch over this area; the accumulated pressure atthe center of this area; the yield of the metal in boththe rail and the wheel under the imposed load; therelative action of the wheel and the rail under load;the comparative action of wheels of different diam-eters, and the comparative action of steel and castiron wheels. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. F. Deems, GeneralS. M. P. of the New York Central Lines, the pre-liminary work involving the use of cars and loco-motives was done at the West Albany yards of theNew York Cent
