Two vanadium rails out of sixin the drop test broke at the third blow. Vending Machine for Cars of Two Penn-sylvania Electric Lines The Wilkes-Barre & Hazleton Electric Railway andIhe Lehigh Traction Company, Hazleton, Pa., havelately installed on their cars a penny-in-the-slot vend-ing machine furnished by Scott E. Drum, Hazleton, machines are of the compact design necessary for. RAIL TEST—ETCHED SECTIONS OF CARBON-STEEL RAILSFOR DELAWARE, LACKAWANNA & WESTERN RAILROAD CAR VENDING MACHINES AS INSTALLED FOR PENNSYLVANIAELECTRIC RAILWAYS that are prescribed in the standard specifications of heDelaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, which callfor a minimum and maximum deflection for J-\a. firstblow. The tests showed that, although the vanadium railswere from 10 points to 15 points lower in carbon thanthe standard rails rolled by the Pennsylvania Steel Com-pany, they had about 40 per c?nt higher elastic limit, oruseful strength, combined with increased tensile or car service, their dimensions being only 24 in. high. 3in. wide and 2% in. deep. To install, the back of themachine is first attached with four screws to panelsbetween the windows. Then the front is locked on tothis back. The front has an attractive French beveledplate mirror 7 in. long and 2 in. wide, set in a frame ofGerman silver. The machine is of metal and the finishis in maho
