The Cement Age says that the expert
ment of the Lackawanna railroad with
concrete car bumpers has been tried with
great success. They are of monolithic
construction, with a granite block face to
receive the blow of the car buffer. The
rails of the roadbed project into the
concrete, so that the impact force reacts
against the weight of the car. The same
authority tells of the successful operation
of an immense fly wheel, or rather two
of them, made of REINFORCED concrete, in
pumping station near Johannesburg,
South Africa. Each weighs 5000 pounds
and is IA feet in diameter. The difficulty
and expense of transporting iron led to
this surprising use of concrete.
