Leakages jumping from 3^ lbs. to the 700 cars as tabulated in the third diagram gives the averages of theleakages of each group of cars as givenin the general summary. For example:The first group shows that there were per minute, of which there were 95, aver-aged lbs. per minute and so on. The startling point of all this is that per cent of the cars examinedshowed a leakage of S lbs. per minute or. DIAGRAM SHOWING THE AVERAGE LEAKAGE FOR EACH GROUP OF CARS FROM 0 TO 50 LBS. TOTAL NUMBER OF CARS TESTED 700.
