English term or phrase: back to back measurement
Axles and bogies:
Examine back to back measurement with gauge at 3 points around the wheel at 120
intervals. Max 1362, min 1360. Maximum permissible out of true tolerance 1 mm.

(...)


Should the vehicle be derailed during its work cycle due to bad track twist, the only requirements are to visually inspect the axle, wheels, flanges and profile for damage, additionally the back to back must be checked to ensure the integrity of axle.
