ABSTRACT:
A railway-car impact-testing method and apparatus whereby the active railway-car is caused to move down an incline and impact against a passive railway-car, the momentum of which is braked by a force storing means which then transfers stored force to the latter car to displace the cars in the opposite direction. A drive rope flanking the rails is used to displace the cars to their respective positions or to brake the displacement of the cars.
