Train riders who find that
the clickety- click of the rails
plays a soothing lullaby will be-
moan the fact that a new weld

Alexandria may speed the

At the same time they can
cheer the probability that this
same welding process also may
in time help to smooth out the
jerks and sways Of a bumpy
railroad bed.
These though are just pos
sible future applications for the
process whose immediate task
is to save the Navy money.
The process, described as the
first complete system to weld
and heat-treat rails while they
are in place, was demonstrated
yesterday at the Alexandria

Rails welded by conventional
methods softened at the weld

Of track-mounted cranes under
