Abstract

In two publications from 1858 and 1861, A. Wöhler already described measurements performed on railway axles under service conditions. By means of a self-developed compound lever system, the deflection of the axle was scratched on a zinc plate by a scriber. This was accomplished for a number of four-wheeled and six-wheeled freight and passenger cars on trips between Breslau and Berlin and between Frankfurt an der Oder and Berlin. Only the maximum moments for bending and torsion per trip could be measured [Wöhl1858, Wöhl1860, Engi1867, Schü96, Zenn15].
