from works to port, and are provided with bolsters. The wheels are
either of Kennard’s rivetted plate disc, or the ordinary spoke pattern.
The tyres are of Blaenavon iron, wrought from the solid bloom into
the required circular form, and then rolled into the patent weldless
tyre to a condition of finish and truth, ready for putting on to the
wheel without subjecting the iron to deterioration either by bending
or welding, and without the necessity for either turning or boring.
These tyres combine safety, durability, and economy.
The following results were obtained by testing pieces cut from
some of these tyres made for the Delhi Railway Company. The
pieces were turned to 1 square inch sectional area, and were broken
by a tensional strain of 32 tons, the strain reaching 20 tons before
any perceptible set took place.
