The journal rests are designed to receive splitbushings of varying diameter, each of which is itself adjustablefor slight variations in the diameter of journals. This machine has a capacity of about 20 pairs of 33 in. wheelsper 10-hour day, the exact rate depending upon the conditionof the wheels and the amount of stock to be removed. Whenmotor-driven a constant speed motor of 20 hp. is required.

FORGED BRAKE BEAM FULCRUM The brake beam fulcrum shown in the illustration has been de-veloped by the Damascus Brake Beam Company, Cleveland,Ohio, to replace the malleable iron fulcrums now generally full-rum i^ .i «nlid steel forging, one end of which is pro- but both the tension and compression member ends may beformed to fit any type of Forged Steel Brake Beam Fulcrum vided with a seat for tlic tension member of the beam and theother fitted to the structural compression member. The fulcrumis held in position against the latter by means of a bolt andclamping plate clearly shown in the illustration. As shown, thefulcrum is designed for application to the Anglrod brake beam.
