(Railroad Age Gazette.) 462 STEEL RAILS at the present time show clearly the willingness on the part of the railroads tomeet the criticism of the manufacturers in regard to the faults in the design ofthe heavier A. S. C. E. sections. These new thick-base sections, adopted after the studies of 1907, cool withless curvature than the former thin-base types and require less cold-straighten-ing. There appears to have been a material reduction in the number of basefailures in the new sections as compared with the A. S. C. E. design. A number of students of this subject think that there is room for stillfurther improvements along this line to eliminate to an even greater extent thefailures in the base of the rail. This is evi
