At the meeting of the New York Rail-way Club, held February 18, 1897, therewas an interesting and instructive paperread on the Correct Method of Gagingand Mounting of Wheels, by Mr. GeorgeTatnall; the paper showing clearly thedisadvantages and troubles ensuing, withthe present wide diversity from uni-formity in thickness of wheel flanges, andalso the danger to wheels and frogs bythe cause named, as well as by the variabledistance between inside of flanges. conditions, as by the most hap-hazardpairing of wheels by flanges of unequalthickness and careless gaging. This can be shown without a diagram ifwe take any distance, 4 feet 5^2 inches be-tween flanges, and 4 feet 8 inches betweenpoints of tangency, which will give aflange thickness of 1% inches at that
