Un autre procédé d'appréciation de la qualité des profils longitudinaux a été imaginé à l'occasion des essais de l'A.A.S.H.O. [American Association of States Highway Officials]. Il s'agit d'un appareil dénommé profilographe [...] L'angle entre le chariot et le châssis du profilographe est facile à mesurer et le principe de la méthode consiste à calculer l'écart quadratique de cette pente sur une certaine longueur de route. 1, record 1, French, - profilographe
