A uni-form flexibility of the springs was sought for, in order to secureisochronal vibrations and render the oscillations uniform andeasy. The dampening action of the leaf springs appears to beanother important factor in this truck, and this is speciallyworthy of attention. The whole effect desired was that whichwould make the suspension of the car correspond to that ofa hammock as far as the horizontal reactions are concerned. February. 1901.
