This is for clearance of the equal-izer, and the amount of chamfer has been increased both inlength and depth to permit stronger equalizer construction. The drawing has also had the end view corrected to show thebottom edge of the lid opening level to agree with the other twoviews, as well as to make the lid opening of the same shape onall the freight and passenger boxes. Slightly increasing the clearance between the outside dustguard wall and axle is suggested, and in doing so the depth ofthe box for oil has only been decreased 1-16 inch. The openingfor the dust guard has been therefore increased a like amountto maintain the lap of dust guard on wall, thus better prevent- -v-f-:.
