The MORNING NEWS announced day or
two ago that President Conner has made
arrangements for getting all the steel rails
required for the Central railroad to put it
IN the very best condition. Ia his applIca-
tion to Judge Speer for the approval of the
contract he says:
~ consider this one of the best arrange
ments that has been made by any one.
L
could not make such an arrangement. Tho
iron men themselves told me that
they have been refusing to grant
time even TO people who are re-
garded as perfectly solvent and In no
trouble whatever. 1t is particularly graft
flying to me to be able to make such an ar
rangement under such circumstances, and
especially so now, as the rails are SO much
needed 20 put our line in condition to meet
the business Of the coming winter. The
improvements to be made win enable US to
save money in many ways in our opera
tions; besides, there will be very much less
wear and tear upon our rolling stock" The
purchase of rails is understood to be 10, 900
tons.
The Dudley dynograph car is one Of the
railway institutions Of the north and east.
1t started out yesterday on its annual sum-
mer inspection owe several of the eastern
railways. The car is the property OF 2. II.
Dudley. Everything has been so arranged
in the car by the owner and inventor
that the exact conditions of the rails and
roadbed, the motion of the car, speed, etc. e,
are registered on a long roll of paper as the
car passes over the rails. 1t is forty feet
long, and the instrument which records the
defects in the rails, roadbed and the other
things is situated in one end. The instru-
uent is worked by electricity and
by the movement OF the WneeH or
tho car. The records are made by
system of little glass tubes filed
with red ink, and taperinR to fine penlike
points, which will trace on paper, as the
car moves along at any rates of speed, ev-
erything that is desirable TO know about
the condition of the rails and roadbed. The
paper used Is about twenty-four inches
wide, and it passes from one roller to an
! other, both the rollers moving in oonnec-
| ton with the wheels of the cars. A strip
OF this paper eight feet long is used to each
mile traversed, and the points of the little
| glass tubes mark on the paper the align
| ment OF each rail, the degree Of curvature,
| as well as the elevation Of each curve. the
| speed at which the car is moving, and the
| condition of the surface OF the
rails. Every variation of one-thfrty-
second of an inch and over is recorded. In
connection with the registering and tracing
| instrument in the car is a contrivance which
! automatically ELECTS a dropof blue paint
upou each Joint in the track where the end
! of one rail is one.sixteenth of an inch or
more out of gear. The dynograph GER goes
over the differenS systems behlud special
! engine, but does not travel faster than
twenty miles an hour. Along the route
| traversed by the car printed slips OF paper
explaining the meaning OK the blue marks
| on the rails are handed to the foremen of
the section gangs, and they Immediately
! start out TO repair the defects.
