Rochester Cars—Plan Showing Seating Arrangement the cushions are lifted off for sweeping there is no ob-struction to interfere with the motion of the broom. A new form of folding door and step is used. The dooris folded away from the center by means of cranks androds operated from an overhead shaft, the two sections ofthe door being hinged on vertical shafts. The rear-doorshaft is connected with a crank and lever below the floorto raise and lower the step. The doors are guided bymeans of rollers mounted on bearings near the tops of thedoors and working in a guide groove. The form of thisgroove was worked out experimentally to give a straight-line motion to the inner door edge and also to lock thedoor in the closed position. The position of the operatingstrap from the overhead shaft is such that the conductoris obliged to look toward the door in closing or opening it,so that he gets a good view of boarding or alighting pas-sengers.
