Under these circumstances the Indianapolis welderwas utilized in such a way that five crossing frogs wereturned out at the rate of one per day by four crossings were constructed of a section of rail, one length serving as through rail, witha section of the Trilby cut away and a flangeway cutthrough the ball. The other rails were shaped and cutby means of hacksaws to fit against the through railand all were welded to a base plate.

Then knee bracesmade of standard Indianapolis bars bent to the properangle were welded to the webs of the rails. The crossing made up as above had the weaknessthat the ball of the rail was unsupported at the flange-ways. This was remedied by fitting a block of steelbetween the under side of the rail head and the top ofthe knee braces and welding it in place. In additionthe bottom flangeways were built up to form flange-bearing crossings. These crossings were made to meet an emergency, butthey are holding up well, and it is possible that
