The gaugeis furnished with an arm made of %-in. pipe which extends inwards towards GAUGE, >B STEEL RIVET JOINT. GAUGE FOR SIDE PLAY ADJUSTMENT. the axle. The arm has a flat iron end,through which passes a thumb screwsharpened so as to scribe a line on theaxle. A line scribed on the axle fromboth tires gives a mechanic the op-portunity to measure the exact dis-tances to the hubs of the wheels. Wetake off from each side half the amountto be allowed for lateral play. Flangeswill cut unless they are equi-distantfrom the hubs. All our engines run one way, theyare never turned round, and hence inalways hanging to the outside of thecurves, which are numerous on the roadand quite sharp, the tendency to cut theflanges is very great. By the carefuluse of this guage we have entirely pre-vented flange-cutting, and no troublecan ever arise in this way while thetires are kept laterally correct. Thegauge has the double advantage of beingvery easy of construction and is in allcases very reliable. A. J. MONFEE, M.
