188A. The Contractor shall allow the Inspector free access to his shops and to the 

 mills at all times when work is being done on this contract, and he shall provide every 

 reasonable facility to assist the Inspector in the inspection of both material and work- 

 manship for the entire contract. 



189. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with as many copies of material 

 orders as the Engineer may direct. 



190. The Contractor shall give ample notice to the Inspector of the beginning of 

 rolling at the mill and of work at the shop, so that the Inspector may be present. Any 

 materials rolled or other materials manufactured or any shop work done before the 

 Inspector has had due notice may be rejected. 



191. The Contractor shall furnish, without charge, test specimens, as specified 

 herein, and all labour, testing machines and tools necessary to make the specimen and 

 full size tests. 



192. The Inspector shall have the power to reject materials or workmanship which 

 do not come up to the requirements of this Specification; but, in case of dispute, the Con- 

 tractor may appeal to the Engineer, whose decision shall be final. 



193. The acceptance of any material or finished members by the Inspector shall 

 not be a bar to their subsequent rejection, if found defective. Rejected material and 

 workmanship shall be replaced promptly or made good by the Contractor. 



194. When specified by the Engineer, one eye bar from each annealing charge shall 

 be tested full size; but the number and size of bars to be tested shall be stipulated by 

 the Engineer before the order shall have been placed at the mill. If such full size tests 

 should not meet the requirements herein specified, all members represented thereby 

 shall be rejected. The tests shall be made at the Contractor's expense. 



195A. Eye bars thus tested which meet the requirements of this Specification shall 

 be paid for by the Railway Company at the actual cost to the Contractor less scrap 

 value. Bars which fail to meet the requirements of this Specification and all bars from 

 rejected annealing charges shall be paid for by the Contractor. 



196. Full size tests of carbon steel eye bars shall show a yield point of not less than 

 29 000 pounds per square inch, an ultimate strength of not less than 54 000 pounds per 

 square inch, and an elongation of not less than 10 per cent., in a length of 18 feet, mea- 

 sured in the body of the bar. The fracture shall show a silky or fine granular structure 

 throughout. 



197. Full size tests of nickel steel eye bars shall show a yield point of not less than 

 48 000 pounds per square inch, an ultimate strength of not less than 85 000 and not 

 more than 100 000 pounds per square inch, an elongation of not less than 10 per cent, 

 in a length of 18 feet measured in the body of the bar, and a reduction of area of not less 

 than 30 per cent. The fracture shall show a silky or fine granular structure throughout. 



198. Should a test eye bar break in the head and yet develop the specified yield 

 point, ultimate strength, elongation and character of fracture, the members represented 

 thereby shall not be rejected, provided not more than one-third of the total number of 

 bars tested fail in this manner. 



199. The yield point shall be determined by the halt of the gauge of the testing 

 machine. 



Paint 



SHOP PAINTING 



200A. Unless otherwise specified by the Engineer, all metal surfaces, except such 

 as are to be encased in concrete, shall be given one coat of each of the Railway Com- 

 pany's Standard Paints Nos. 1, 2 and 3. One coat of paint No. 1 shall be put on in 

 the shop and one coat of each of paints Nos. 2 and 3 shall be put on in the field as speci- 

 fied under "Erection". All paints shall be in accordance with the Railway Company's 

 Standard Specification K1W-9.1.
