On the inside of theside construction 14 stakes are provided on each side andthe connection between these stakes and the side top angleis effected through malleable iron castings, as is shown in back into the car to bring the ladders inside the clearancelimits and also to afford these a certain amount of protec-tion in car dumpers and elsewhere. The assembled side con-struction forms an efficient girder which will carry the entire
