Summary: 
The purpose of this leaflet is to recommend a method of producing templates for assessing what work needs to be carried out on switch and stock rails in service and, where necessary, on the moving point rails of crossings.  To enable the chain of reasoning to be followed, the leaflet first of all reviews:  the characteristics of new and worn wheels;  a certain number of theoretical concepts relating to safety against derailment and to tyre/rail contact.
