Re: Mine Cart Gauge?

Since mine carts tended to be produced locally their gauge varied widely. Here is an extract from a text (1907) on mine carts. It mainly concerns coal and iron mining but it has more detail and mathematics than most will require. It mentions gauges from 18" to 39-1/2", but they are just examples.
