Delays because of hot boxes, and the labor andmaterial costs involved in bearing and journal renewals,would be correspondingly reduced. Advantages of Better Lubrication Some tests to determine resistance to car movement havebeen made by the Pennsylvania Railroad and reported inBulletin No. 26. Among the resistances considered are roll-ing resistance of wheel on rail (influenced by typ>e and con-dition of track), flange pressure on rail, wind resistance dueto speed, curve re.^istance and grade resistance, none of whichresistances can be reduced liy better lubrication of is safe to assume that
