A combination of draft timber end casting and dead-woodsin a single steel casting has been developed and applied byMr T. E. Adams, general master mechanic of bis road, forapplication to wooden cars. Its purpose is to reduce the num-ber of parts, and support the draft timbers in such a way asto reduce the breakage of draft timber bolts. This construc-tion dispenses with chafing irons, chafing iron bolts, dead-woods and dead-wood plates. It protects the draft timbersfrom damage in case the followers break and the coupler isdriven back. It distributes the stresses on all the sills throughthe bolster, and relieves the draft timbers of tensile is impossible to break the draft timber bolts unless thisstee] casting breaks or the squared rods leading to the bolstergive way.
