Device for Measuring Car-MileageAccurately Among the new apparatus being perfected for rail-way work is a device for measuring the mileage traveledby a car wheel. It is known as the Ohmer odometer andis being developed by the Ohmer Fare Register Com-pany of Dayton Ohio. This device, which is shown in. DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE MILES TRAVELED BY A CAR WHEEL the accompanying illustration, is designed to give rail-way companies an accurate means for figuring car mile-ages, which means increased accuracy in maintenancestatistics. The odometer wheel is kept in contact with the treadof the car wheel by spring pressure. As the adjustmentdoes not depend upon the size of the car wheel, inac-curacies due to the wear of the wheel are obviated. Theodometer will indicate the miles traveled, no matter inwhat direction the car goes. It is expected that thisdevice will serve a very useful purpose as the totalmileage, including the travel in carhouse, on sidings,etc., will be included, thus rendering car mileage sta-tistics really accurate. The device is not yet ready forthe market, but is receiving severe tests preparatory toits manufacture.
