. The Street railway journal . ]HE present management of the John vSiephenson Company has designedfonr new types of trucks, intended for high speed, four motor trucks are ljuilt on original lines, although they contain all theimportant features of M. C. B. construction, such as equalizing bars, swingbolsters, and perfect accommodations for the brake mechanism. In the No. 6 and No. 12 Trucks, intended especially for interurbanwork, the uiotors are hung inside of the axles The frame of the former is ofwrought iron, and set low enough to allow the truck being used on a one stepcar. The No. 12 truck is of exceptionally heavy design, intended for theseverest interurban service. It will accommodate the largest motors built, and. No. 20. has exceptionally powerful brakes. It will ride as easy, at any rate of speed,as a six-wheel Pullman. In the No. 10 and No. 20 trucks, the motors are hung on the outside ofthe axles. The No. 10 is designed especially for use on narrow cars andstreets, and short radius curves. There is no interference of any kind with theoil boxes, enabling the truck to swing in a very small space. An especialadvantage of the No. 20 truck is its scientific distribution of springs—making itsuperior to any other 4-ft. wheel base truck on the market. We believe that one of these four types of trucks will meet your require-ments better than they have ever been met before. Let us send you furtherinformation.
