Collapsible Stake Pocket Applied to a Car. piping, pig-iron, etc., and it also prevents damage to the pocketsnr lading in loading and unloading. When loading materialrequiring stakes, the pockets are raised to a horizontal positionand moved to the rest lug on the right, after which the stakesare applied. The pockets are strong, of simple construction andalways available for stakes of M. C. B. dimensions. A largepercentage of the old type pockets are constantly out of repairs;tliey are expensive to maintain and facilities for repairs are notprovided at loading points, resulting in the improper applicationof stakes or stakes that do not meet the i\I. C. B. is claimed that the breaking load of the stake over the roundsection of this pocket is 18 per cent, greater than that over thesquare edge of the strap pocket. The round section also makestlie driving of the stake easier, as well as more secure. Thepockets have been thoroughly tested out in actual service forover a year
