The bond isapplied to the rail ends by being soldered to them, and special tools are furnished for cleaning the ends of the rails and solderingthe bonds in place. The form illustrated is intended for useon the lower surface of the rail base, or the upper surface of therail, where it will not interfere with the fish-plates. Another formof this bond is made which is designed for attaching to the outerside of the ball of the rails, or in some cases where space willpermit, under the tram of girder rails. Where bonds of this typeare properly soldered to the rails it is practically impossible forthem to become loose, as only a violent and determined effort willdetach them. This bond is claimed to possess a greater degre
