APPENDIX II Railway a n d H i g h w a y Research Projects a n d Publications of th _ Engineering Experiment Station Since the organization of the Engineering Experiment Station in 1903 many imi riant contributions have been made to promote the safety, con nien uul the I momy o\ railway and highway transportation. Th arclx made pi ssiblc by the availability of an excellent materials testing laboratory i locomotive laboratory, a brake shoe and ear wheel laboratory, t t cars for Steam and electric railways, and most important, by providing a compete!. tatY. The proposed airport and laboratories, and the Jtablishment of a ne educational and research pr gram, will make possible contributions to air transportation comparable to these which have been made to railway and highway transportation. Many investigations have been financed by railway and highway associations, b> manufacturers of equipment and supplies, by technical societies, and by £ ernmental agencies. T h e following list of such cooperative research projects is arranged in chronological o r d e r : Research Projects STRESSES IN RAILROAD TRACK, in cooperation with the American Railway Engineering Association and the American Society of Civil Engineers (1914 to 1941).
