This construction throws all theweight of the car on the side members. The platforms are supported on four 8 in. x 3^/^ in. anglesplaced in such a manner that the platform cannot be pulledout of square. The weight is distributed about equally be-tween all four members. The two on each side of the car. JUNCTION BOX UNDER CONTROLLER are riveted one behind the other to the bottom angle of theside member. They then diverge and are secured to theend sill angle through malleable iron castings by i>^ At their outer end they are riveted to a One the rear end the two inner platform members arebridged by a 2^ in. x 10 in. channel bar, to which the draftrigging is attached. The drawbar has a cast steel headsupported on an angle iron slide. No drawbar is providedon the front end, but a pocket is provided under the bumperiron. This iron is 6 in. x % in. steel and wood is filled insolid between it and the 6-in. channel which forms thefront of the platform structure. The bumper is covered bya j4-in. steel plate.
