Excerpt from Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Vol. 40: January December, 1927

We have found that inspectors frequently take out wheels for cracked plates when in reality the-plates are not cracked, there is simply a line on the surface which looks something like a crack. However, this is such a dangerous defect that I do not believe we should tell an inspector to take any chances. If inspection at the wheel shop shows it is not cracked, it can be put back in serv ice, but even here care must be used. Serious as the cracked plate problem is, I believe the introduction of the single plate wheel, and certain improvements in brak ing practice, are going to practically solve it.
