Abstract
Film of recorded footage of a high speed infrared wheel analysis recorded from 30 to 8000 frame per second and played back at 24 frame per second to study the resulting patterns of hotspots of a brake against a wheel running at 100 horse power, 60 miles per hour. A voice over discussion of scientists analyzing the results plays along with the film. Shot at Univ. of IL RR research
