An examinationof the oars with a comprehension of the difficulties, includingthe short time allowed for the design and construction, com-pels admiration of the work as an engineering undertaking. It is not, difficult to build a passenger car of metal if thereare no restrictions of weight and clearance. The problemworked oul by Mr. George Gililis. consulting engineer of tneInterborough Rapid Transit Railway, as illustrated in theseengravings, however, meets most difficult limitations of bothclearance and weignt.
