The Central Railroad of New Jersey has recently put intoservice several tender frames of the design illustrated here-with, which from the standpoint of simplicity, strength andrigidity are undoubtedly an improvement over the usualstructural steel design. This frame is made principally of cast steel and comprises,exclusive of the bumpers, floor and attachments, but 13 separ-ate parts of which 11 are cast steel.
