February, 1917. RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. 51 Making Davis Steel Wheels Car wheels are subjected not only toexcessive wearing conditions but toshocks and strains as well. It is desir-able that the metal at the circumference removal tor turning. The essential featureof this wheel is that it combines a man-ganese steel tread and flange with a car-bon steel plate and of a wheel be tough and hard, for thelarger the mileage obtained before re-moving the wheel, the lower the mainte-nance cost. .At the same time the metalmust not be brittle and it must have acertain ductility in order to resist theblows at frogs and crossings and to takeup strains by brake slioe heating.
