The conclusionsreached by the sub-committee read in ther careful study and investigation bythe committee. 4. Advisability of Increasing the Ini-tial Brake Shoe Thickness from IV2 to194 in.—In view of the adoption asstandards of the association, of brakeheads of the A, B and C depths lastyear, to take care of existing brakebeam clearance conditions, the commit-tee deems it advisable that no changesbe made in the standard brake shoethickness of 1% in. at this time. 5. Details of Contour for Top and Bot-tom Head Lugs and the Recesses inBrake Shoes Adjacent Thereto.—Thissubject refers to the recesses in the topand bottom brake head lugs which re-ceive the top and bottom brake shoelugs.

Code of Instructions GoverningBrake Beam Maintenance Practices.—The committee considers this subject tobe one of first importance, not only inthe interests of efficiency and economy,but in being consistent with presentstandard practice, and recommends, asthe first progressive step in this direc-tion, the early adoption of a standardpractice covering the reclamation ofbrake beams in such a manner that theywill meet the standard specificationsused i
