The main doors are lined out-side and inside with steel plate of the same gage and manufac-ture as on the body. The elliptical roof is constructed throughout of No. 16 gagesteel plate curved to a template, and riveted to a series of 2 2 in. by Y^ in. T-bars, which arc connected by gussets andrivets to the angle steel side plates. All rivets are 5/16 in. diame-ter, with countersunk heads on the outside. A cotton duck roof-ing canvas is laid over the steel and secured by No. 20 screws.

The floor consists of 5 lb. per sq. ft. steel plating laid from endto end, and is riveted to the underframe. It is covered witha plastic cement composition known as Decolite, J4 in- thick, andwaterproof, hygienic and impervious to insects. In the corridor,kitclien. pantries and passages, all square corners are avoided bysweeping the cement into a continuous curve. The corridor in-terior is fitted on the body side, from the sill to the roof casing,with No. 20 gage steel panel plate, secured to the steel framingpacking by rolled steel mouldings. The corridor screen is alsocovered from top to bottom with the same material, so that thep
