Abstract: A double C-shaped, resilient, biased clamp for fixing a track rail to a support is manufactured by bending a piece of bar material to a double C-shape. Thereafter the clamp is hardened and heat treated. Prior to bending heating takes place at approximately 1200.degree. C. and finishing takes place directly thereafter by a starting temperature of 900.degree.-1000.degree. C. By this a spring of smaller dimensions is obtained. However, with almost the same properties as the clamps as produced previously.
