Details of the Screw Type Hand Brake cars are equipped with Westinghouse N-12-A draft gearand Lewis or Lamont trucks, being known as Class G-4 cars,while the remaining 500 cars have Cardwell duplex draft gear and Buckeye trucks. These are known as Class G-3cars. On the (lass G-4 uir, the center sills are spacedKSj in. apart and on the Class G-3 the standard 12% is employed.
