These tests would also show the increased tractive force needed in the case of defective side bearings, which were known to eat up the power of the locomotive. The relative value of the different types of car tracks could also be determined accurately. Mr. Delano spoke of simplifying the tests, so they could be made frequently, and try the old engines and locate defects.
