The operator is enabled to see the progress of through a slot in the car floor, and the speed indicate the location of low or defective rail joints,so that they might be repaired as early as car consists of a four-wheel truck with anysuitable frame, provided with two indicatingwheels mounted upon the same axle. The bearingsof this axle are free to slide up and down in thecentral housings, as the inequalities of the trackare pas=ed over, while the end axle bearings ateheld rigidly upan the truck frame.

In order that the surfacing might be done atnight time, so as not to interfere with the ordi-nary day traffic, lamps are hung under the carfloor, near the grinders, in suitable protectingguards. The reflection on the cleanly ground sur- longer arm is connected by a link to a slidingvalve. This valve regulates the flow of any color-ing matter which is contained in a tank placed forthe purpose on the truck. Two spouts lead fromthe tank, one on each side of the truck, termi-nating so as to deliver the coloring matter as nearthe rail joints as deemed desirable. The valve can be actuated as delicately as de-sired by changing the link connection to (he bellcrank lever.
