Recom-mended Practice). Fig. 5766. In 1894 a Recom-mended Practice was adopted for minimum thick-ness for steel tires of car wheels to be 1 in., to bemeasured normal to the tread and radial to thecurved portions of the flange through the thinnestpart within 4% ins. from the back of the flange;the thickness from the latter point to the outeredge of tread to be not less than % in. at thinnestpart. A further practice was adopted of cutting a smallgroove, as shown in the outer face of all tires whenwheels are new, at a radius % in. less than thatof the tread of tire when worn to the prescribedlimit, to facilitate inspection. In 1909, as result of a letter ballot, it was recom-mended that the illustration showing the minimum. thickness of steel tires, be canceled, and that thefour illustrations shown herewith be substitutedtherefor as Recommended Practice to govern theservice operations of both steel and steel-tiredwheels under both passenger and freight Tired Wheel.
