Image 19. Inspecting rerolled rails.  When finished, the 
rails are examined for length, quality and imperfections 
in straightening, chipping and drilling.  Two men in the 
background (left of center) are chipping and filing off 
burrs made by the Hot Saws.

Here it can be clearly seen that there are new bolt holes (as 
well as nopo traces of the original, worn holes) and that the
rail heads have symmetrical profiles.  Several patents by 
George, Sr. dealt with extremely worn rails by transforming
their profiles into aysymmetrical shapes; see U.S. Patents 
No. 1,212,365, 1,212,366 and 1,212,964.
