In study reported, observations were made of contact area and shape, relative movement or "creep" in rolling, and limiting coefficient of friction, with different values of vertical load, wheel diameter, tractive force, etc; results obtained were compared with calculations of Hertz, Carter and others; reasonable agreement obtained between actual and calculated values, except that areas of contact could apparently be increased by roughness of contacting surfaces.
