[Vol. XXXL Xo. 6. The platforms are supported by the two center sills ex-tending into the buffer and bolted thereto and two platformbearers, each consisting of one 4-in. I-beam withwood filler for fastening the platform floor. These bearersextend to the forward side of the bolster and are fastenedto it by connection angles and 4 ins. into the buffer. Thelatter is of i^Yz-in. x 6-in. white oak faced with a 3^ bar and is fastened to the platform bearers, center sillsand end diaphragm with %-in. bolts. The two platformsteps are covered with Universal safety tread. The draw-bars arc of the \an Dorn MOTOR TRUCK The side framing is primarily of wood construction, al-though the window posts are made comparatively light andare reinforced by y2-m. steel rods passing from beneaththe heavy side sill girder members up to and through theforged foot of the steel carline above the plate. This con-struction is made possible by using steel carlines. Thewindow post construction also follows the 1200 type inthe use of 8-in. steel channels inserted vertically for framestiffening at three points in the car corresponding to theposition of the cross seat backs. The roof, as shown in the section, is of composite con-struction. The steel carlines mentioned are sandwiched inash, which is the wood used throughout for framing, exceptthe yellow pine in the clear story sill and plate.
