From the data here presented it will be a simplematter to compare the value of the solid forged androlled steel wheel with the value of the cast ironwheel in similar service. Dividing the life of thesteel wheel by the life of the cast iron wheel givesthe number of cast iron wheels required for an 132. WEAR OF SCHOEN STEEL WHEELS ON BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT 133 N° 9199
