The space between the corner postsand the adjoining side-door posts isbraced with a double set of diagonalbracing, formed of I 4-in. angles in threevertical panels and riveted to the gussetconnections. This arrangement of cornerbracing gives stability to the upper frameand forms a collision bulkhead of greatresistance.
