An improved method of connecting the drawbar to the yokehas recently been patented by Mr. J. J. Tatum, general foremanof the car department at the Baltimore Terminals of the Balti-more & Ohio Railroad and by Mr. Alois P. Prendergast, a mastermechanic of the same company. The principal advantages of the device are the dispensing withrivets, its radial feature and the resulting increase in train ton-nage with the same locomotive tractive force on divisions wherecurves are numerous, the great increase in strength as comparedto the ordinary type of coupler yoke fastening and the ease with.
