INTERIOR OF THE AIR BRAKE INSTRUCTION CAR, C. R. R. OF N. J. and was designed by Mr. B. P. Flory,mechanical engineer of the road, and byMr. G. W. Rink, chief draughtsman, underthe supervision of Mr. YYm. Mcintosh,the well-known superintendent of motivepower of the C. R. R. of N. J. The carwas built at the companys Elizabethportcar shops, of which Mr. Wm. Alter isgeneral foreman. The instruction compartment, which is56 ft. 2 in. long by S ft. 71; in. wide,is provided with a 50-car freight airbrake equipment, besides two driverbrake, one tender brake and one passen-ger brake equipment, all securely attachedto a wrought iron framework extending tions resting on the regular car flooringwith a false flooring above securelyfastened to the subsills extending longi-tudinally with the instruction room.
