As an additional precaution against track spread- ing enough to prevent the points laying close to the main rails, a rail brace may be spiked down outside the main rails, just ahead of the switch points. The heel of a split switch is at the head block of a stub switch, and the instructions here given, are based on the assumption that the length of the stub switch lead from the head block to the frog point is correct, before changing the switch. The heel of the split switch, should be square wit...h the main rail, and the distance between gage lines should be the same on both sides of the track. DESCRIPTION OF TABLE 1, FOR "STUB LEADS. " 5. For stub leads, table 1 gives all the data neces- sary to lay out turnouts, whether single or double, from straight track or curves and for any frog number. In the first column are given the frog numbers, the angles corresponding to them in the second. The third column gives the table lead, from point of frog to heel of switch. In the fourth, the length of switch rail for a 5 inch throw.
