In the same manner thebending moment for the journal is substituted in the equationfor diameter, the fibre stress being assumed at 10,000 lbs. persquare inch.

The factor, L, is found in the manner described by Mr. Nelson, in a communication to the M. C. B. Association in1901, viz.: L = A + 2C + R+% inch;L + K — A — 2R and also J = . 2 The horizontal lines at the upper part of the diagram repre-sent values of L, and those in the lower group values of J;the vertical lines represent the total load, W, on one axle,and the groups of curved lines represent the diameters at cen-ter Di, at wheel seat Ds, and at journal Da, respectively, for cor-responding values of W and L, and W and J.
