On the Form, Weight, Manufacture and Life of Rails
The members of the Committee (or such of them is have been able to meet together) appointed to investigate and report upon the forms, sizes, manufacture, tests, endurance and breakage of rails, and also the comparative economy of steel and iron rails, have given attention to the subject, and issued circular interrogatories* to obtain the results of American experience. They have not, however, as yet received a sufficient number of responses to warrant a final report, or to give full numerical results, on a subject so extensive, so important, and in some respects so unsettled. This they hope to do, at the next Annunal Meeting of the Society, and accordingly urgently repeat their requests for answers to their interrogatories.
