The angles, which are carried off thebridge at each end, meet on the bank ina sharp point somewhat resembling thelines of a gothic arch or church door,this outline being the usual form in whichbridge guard rails terminate. The objectof this angle brace is, that in case of de-railment of any vehicle while on the bridgethe wheels would be prevented from ap-proaching dangerously near the edge ofthe structure. If off the track, the flangeof the wheel would, of course, plough intothe oak holding strip, but the angle wouldensure a safe limit to the displacement of JUST PUBLISHED The WaischaertLocomotive Valve Gear nv \v. \Y. woo LI Ntarly 200 pnges.
