Cross Section at point C2, 168,000 grains per sq. in. - Crushed Head. Fig. 269 illustrates another example of a crushed head due to unsoundmetal. View 1 shows a section of the head taken at the point of greatest dis-tortion. The cavity in the top of this view is a drilled hole. On one side ofthe head a cavity which did not show on the surface, but indicated markedbreaking down of the metal, was revealed. The metal, however, is more uni-form throughout this rail than was the case in the rail of the preceding figure. View 2 shows the grain at the center of the head; view 3, like view 3 ofFig. 268, is taken at the end of the crack. It shows the finer grain and distor-tion of the same, and shows as well the further distortion of the metal at the INFLUENCE OF DETAIL OF MANUFACTURE 393 end of the crack as a sort of tearing action.
