Abstract
"Six new wheels were tested at the University in order to determine, in general, the susceptibility of the wheels to damage caused by braking cycles. The wheels were tested in a manner similar to the tests on ten 33"" E.Q.S. wheels made during 1952 by the University. The results of these tests on four wheels are given in a report dated March 28, 1952, and the report on six wheels is dated September 5, 1952."
