General impression is that the harder the steel the less the wear; author shows that this is not always so, and that softer and apparently weaker rail may give better results; recommends method of measuring strength of materials as applied to rails; consideration of causes that produce wear on rails; results of tests; concludes that normal wear of rail is result of inertia phenomenon, and as method of decreasing this wear, suggests that much softer metal be used than is done today. Abstracted from author's Etudes expe rimentales de technologie industrielle.
