In this latter aspect a ma-terial reduction has been made in thegrinding time, so much so that it is nowa matter of regular accomplishment togrind three complete axles per hour.

Those familiar withaxle turning know that the averageamount of material removed by turning lirst glance that there would soon be anamount of saving in axles that would bethe equivalent of a large amount ofmoney and the fact that a number ofrailroads have already made exhaustivetests of the efficiency of the machine andadopted its use is sufficient proof of itssurpassing merit.
