Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland, 1868, Vol. 8: Part 2
The serious objections to the use of timber sleepers on the Madras Railway led to the introduction of the cast iron one. The variety used is that known as Greaves' patent. Each sleeper weighs 84lbs., and covers an area of square feet. Six pwr of pots are laid to a 20 foot rail of 751bs. To the yard. The space between the two central pair of pots is 4 feet, and the spaces between the others diminish towards the ends of the rails. Each pair of pots is connected by a tie-bar of wrought-iron, secured by Cottars and Gibs. The rail is of the double headed pattern, and is fish-jointed.
