The Man Who Invented
the Flange Rail
., Holland

A year or two before the death of
Abram S. Hewitt, was chatting
with him about the anthracite coal
strike in Eastern Pennsylvania, and
in some way which ] did not under
stand the trouble brought to Mr..
Hewitt's mind fact associated with
Robert l.. Stevens. With that almost
unique and often fascinating manner
with which Mr.. Hewitt sometimes
shifted instantly from one line OF
thought TO another, he told me briefly
what he regarded as a supreme
achievement of Robert l.. Stevens.
Mr.. Hewitt was at that time about
so years of age. There was some
thing about his personality and physi-
que which called 10 mind my meeting
with Charles Francis Adams in 1876
perhaps because Mr.. Hewitt and Mr..
Adams were both conspicuous among
the supporters Of Samuel J. Tilden
to the Presidency. There was some
thing about the expression Of Mr..
Hewitt's eyes. large, occasionally
with dreamy look as though he saw
visions which he could not interpret
in words. which was also suggestive
OF Mr. Adams He spoke in a low
tone of voice. not with any Of the
trembling or querulousness Of age,
but with distinction Of enunciaton.
In that respect, too, he resembled
Mr.. Adams.
Mr. Hewitt said: have some
times heard II said that the develop
ment of the American railroad and
what has been accomplished in the
past fifty years are chiefly due to Sir
Henry Bessemer. with whom it is my
good fortune to have cordial personal
relations and whose cheap process of
manufacturing made the steel rail
possible. and to George Westinghouse,
whose airbrake brought about econo-
mics as we'll as safety Of travel.
Il don't disagree with those who
are of this opinion, but | do think
that a third should be added to the
list He is Robert L. Stevens. Few
people know nowadays that Mr.. Stew
ems designed the fiange rail. That
rail was Of greater influence, in my
opinion, in developing American rail-
roads than any other single mechani-
cal or scientific influence. can
lust remember when rails were moth
ing but thin pieces Of scrap iron.
They were screwed to wooden beams.
It would have been impossible for any
but the lightest of trains to make use
of track of that kind, and, as it was,
the iron would frequently break and
thereby make trouble.
