Book Description
Excerpt from Holding Power of Railroad Spikes: Thesis The determination Of a proper fastening between the rail and the tie has become a matter Of considerable importance. During the period when the supply of suitable hard wood timber was suf ficient, the ordinary spike satisfactorily fulfilled the require ments of traffic; but with the increase in the amount Of traffic handled, and the heavier weights of cars and locomotives, and also with the use of soft deciduous and coniferous woods for ties, the common spike has proved deficient. Variations in the form of the ordinary spike have been developed, and new forms of spikes have been devised in an attempt to overcome the loss of efficiency attendant upon the use of inferior timbers.
