. Electric railway journal . This is the Griffin F. C. S. Wheel The surface of tread and flange contains three andone-half per cent carbon white iron, harder than toolsteel, insuring long wear. The softer hub permits easy machining. It is a wheel where the metal is so distributed thateach part is particularly adapted to the requirementsdemanded of it. The arched face plate gives additional strength. Over 200,000 F. C. S. wheels are in use under cityand interurban electric railway cars throughout thecountry. The low friction between rail and flange keeps theflange wear and danger of derailment
