A one.PIeee Railway Wheel.

A process for making a one-plece
steel railway wheel has been devised,
For a S3-in. wheel an ingot about 10
Inches in diameter is used. and with
steam-hammer and hydraulic press
the ingot is forged until the hub
and web are brought to practically
the finished size. II Is then subjected
to process of heat treatment, so that
the outer portion of the wheel is
brought to rolling heat, while the
web and hub are kept at lower red
heat. The rolling process brings the
