It is believed that for allclasses of cars and for all couplers which come under the B. Standards a single ended rod properly designed is themost suitable arrangement not covered by patents that can beused. Acting on this, changes are suggested in M. C. B. SheetB, which it is thought will overcome the defects in design andreduce to a minimum the troubles incident to improper main-tenance ; this is shown on Sheets 1 and 2. The special feature of this uncoupling attachment is the slot-ted center bracket, which has been in use on a number of roads ; Iwa, Lr^.s.
