The corner posts, however, are 3^ in. x 3j/i in. x ^ The end sill is of oak 8 in. x 9^ in. and the centersill channels are cut out at the top sufficient to allow its in-troduction. The end sheet of the car extends behind the end supported below the center sills just inside of the truck and thetrain line passes between the two center sill channels for the dis-tance between the bolsters. At the bolsters and to the end ofthe car it runs outside of the sills. The brake cylinders arelocated just under the end sill, there being one at either end of.

The which the floor plates are secured. hand brake is located on the opposite side of the car from this The car has a Miner friction draft gear with Miner at- cylinder and connects to the opposite end of the same brake tachments. It will be seen that the gear is attached directly lever.
