Experiments were made on an axle which had shown a small crack, to determine the effect of vibrations on the further developments of the crack. The experiments seemed to show that comparatively light blows on the axle when suspended had more effect than regular service. Illustrated description by Mr. H. V. Ivatt, in a paper read before the Inst. C. E., in Ireland. (See also Lon. Engineer, Apr. 3, 1891, p. 260-2)
