Accordingly, orders wereplaced with the West Milwaukee CarShops of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Railway, of which Mr. A. E. Man-chester is superintendent of motive pow-er, and Mr. J. J. Hennessy, master carbuilder, and it was under their super-vision that Mr. J. F. De Voy, the me-chanical engineer, designed, the car, and,as a result, two sixteen wheel flat cars of200,000 lbs. capacity were built, and theyare the first of their kind in few of the details showing the unu-sual sizes of these new cars, are as fol-lows: Length over end sills, 40 ft. 2 ins.;width over side sills, 8 ft. 9 ins.; height,rail to floor, 4 ft. 4J4 ins.; wheel base,36 ft. 2 ins.; wheels, diameter, 33 DOUBLE TRUCK ARRANGEMENT WITH CRADLE, FOR HUNDRED TON CAPACITY FLAT CAR. ber of telegraph poles in view in theseven hundred odd feet of track of whichwe have spoken.

A crosssection of the fire box would show themud ring to be 4^ ins. wide at the sidesand a longitudinal section of the boilerwould make clear the S in. width of themud ring at the front end of the firebox. The grate area in this fire box is4554 sq. ft. The back sheet slopes inabout 27 ins. at the top and the crownsheet slopes also slightly to the front,giving, however, a steam and waterspace of about 24 ins. above the crown. The tender is made with the ordinaryU-shaped plan of tank. It holds S. gallons of water and the fue
