An ingenious machine for testing the
gauge and elevation of railroad tracks
was demonstrated. few days ago. be-
fore the Pressure Isle board of trade.
The machine consists of three trucks
with Ranges connected by a frame.
The axle is supplied with heavy coil
spring that press the flanges of the
wheel against the rails, while connect
ed with one OF the outer trucks is a
gear that records automatically in
eighths of an inch the distance be-
tween the rails, also level which rec
cords the elevation. The records of
the width are made upon paper tape
and tracks can be tested at the rate of
five or six miles an hour. The ma
chine can be attached to an ordinary
motor car, or run like an ordinary
