The adventof the large capacity car increased and added to the difficultieswhich formerly existed, and the time has come to consider de-vices of this kind as necessities. Many railroad officers areready to apply so-called frictionless side bearings and cen-terplates when they are sure of having found trustworthy de-vices. Mr. Norwood selected ball bearings as the simplest and mostsatisfactory solution of the proble
