the entire field which was affected by
the old spike, so that, to all intents,
when it has been treated in this man
ner, it is a new tie.
A series Of comparative pulling tests
made with the new and old spikes
has demonstrated the superiority OF
the former beyond all doubt. The
difference was especially marked in
the case Of the inferior tie woods. In
loblolly pine, for instance, the pulling
point of the common spike was 3,474
pounds, while that of the screw spike
was S,5O4. In chestnut the figures
were 9,41S to $3.50 in favor of the
screw. The common spike in white
oak was dislodged after pull of
$3.50 pounds, while that required in
the case of the screw spike was 1926
pounds.
