The piling strips should be no longer than the width ofthe pile. No strips should be allowed to run through fromone pile to another. One piling strip should be used overeach bearing piece upon which the lumber rests and shouldbe placed directly over the bearing piece or the strip pre-viously applied. The edge of the trips used on the front -March, 1922 RAILWAY MECHANICAL EXGIXEER 147 of the pile should be allowed to project over the ends ofthe lumber upon which it rests at least % in. This will actas a drip cap and assist in preventing the ends of the lumberfrom checking or splitting. The ends of each course oflumber applied tp the pile should be brought flush with thee
