The car has a slatted seat top hinged to open full Itngthand every portion of the mechanism is accessible to theoperator easily and quickly. The tray frame has a boxfor carrying tools and a twelve-inch foot-board for theoperator. The car has two-lever control and a brake thatis easily reached by the operator from any position. is from a photograph of this car. Tools and other appliances operating under currents.

The highvoltage and rough handling to which tools for this class ofwork are subjected calls for the careful design, insulationand general construction. An examination of the cut willshow that the frame of this drill does not bolt to the track,but is simply hooked over the rail to be drilled, the operatorholding down the other end-by sitting on the seat provided,and thus brings him into convenient position to operatethe feed. The side -spindle of the drill permits of closedrilling to the ties without the use of an angle attachment,and the vertical adjustment screw with guides for the drilFaffords a ready means for locating the holes vertically onordinary tee or deep girder rails. The horizontal rods areof heavy seamless drawn tubing, and the bearing surface of the drill guides on the rods is very lon
