A ^-in. tie rod is placed alongside each alternate crosssill and terminates in bolts on the outside of the side braces of yellow pine at the center and at the ends ofthe car give additional strength to the framing. The floor is double, and consists of a lower one of i-in. x i2-in. yellow pine laid diagonally, and above this another of ^2-in. yellow pine flooring laid lengthwise. Between the two. curely mortised into the posts and the furring below this iswedged down tightly by wedges under the belt rail at eachpost. Additional bracing of the body is obtained by the insideiron truss, which may be observed in Fig. 8. The outside sheathing below the belt rail is glued in theusual manner, and in addition a y^-in x 2-in. iron band isscrewed just under the belt rail over the endsof the sheathing, while a half oval strip pro-tects the bottom edges. The eave rail is of2-in. x 3-in. angle iron. The roof is of the canopy type. A feature outof the ordinary is that a roof mat extends overthe whole of the upper deck. This mat was soplaced as to protect the roof from blows fromthe trolley and from the shoes of the interior of the car is divided by a glasspartition into a smoking and main passenger^ compartment.
