Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . ollowed by all sorts and conditionsof material from roof girders to automo-biles. .d now instead of a few simplerules for tying and bracing, we have elabo-rate instructions for spacing and bearingblocks, crosspieces, diagonals, stakes andc\ erything else that enters into, the safehandling of an unwieldy shipment. Andunwieldy shipments have grown rapidly long as the car, but is more than half aslong. The method given permits of suchan overlapping of the plate as to securea full loading of the car and an even dis-tribution of the weight on both trucks,and that without danger of shifting. .dwhen the plates are longer than the carthere are instructions for loading andholding on one car. Roof and bridgegirders with all their blocking and fasten-ing are shown and perhaps most novel andquite as interesting as any of the others isthe tilting method of loading from threeto five automobile trucks on a single flatcar and the stowing of a similar shipmentin a box car where the automobiles are. iHrF--—^..
