The almost universal adoptionj,,,^,^.^ of this principle is very striking at the present day. On the French Eastern* the railrests on the tie without metallic plates,except on very sharp curves (of radius and under). Plates of poplaror felt are placed under the rail, solely toprotect the wood against the mechanicalaction of the base. These plates arecompressed before being used, so thatthey will not be further compressedunder the pressure of the rail. Theplates are furnished inch thick, and Fig. 97. — Wooden Tie Plate on French Eastern, the Compression brings them to inch.* Bureau of Forestry, Bulletin No. 50, von Schrenk.
