Forces exerted between flanged wheels and rails; calculation of forces using modification of established method; reference to method of model analysis devised to demonstrate phenomena of vehicle negotiating curved track and to measure lateral forces exerted on rails; tests confirm important effect of friction forces on equilibrium of vehicle on curved track, and indicate probable nature of contact between wheels and rails.
