Test No. 3.—To test repaired triples for re-lease, charge the auxiliary to seventy poundspressure and make a full service reduction oftwenty pounds, or until the auxiliary and cylinderpressure are equal. Place the special cut-outcock in such position that pressure must passthrough the 3-64 inch port, and turn main reser-voir pressure of ninety pounds into the brake the triple does not release under these con-ditions it should be condemned. Test No. 4.—The triple piston packing ringshould be tested for leakage by blocking the pis-ton in the graduating position, preferably by useof the device shown at A in the accompanyingdiagram, maintaining the brake pipe pressure atseventy pounds. Under these conditions the. tiicwT aaaxE cn^JOL pressure in the auxiliary reservoir should not increase faster than fifteen pounds per minute. Clearance (of Track Gage). The total difference be- CLE 40 coc exterior bearing surface of the flanges is at pres-ent fixed at about ys of an inch, as adopted inJune, 1894. See Figs. S230-5233. The method oftesting wheels for this purpose has been by meas-uring the distance in the clear from inside to in-side of car wheel. By resolution of the MasterCar Builders Association, 1883, the standard dis-tance for flanges was fixed at 4 ft. $H in. Thelimit of Y$ in. either way from 4 ft. 5^j in. wasadopted in 1S85. In 1894 a
