This truck was fully illustrated anddescribed on page 135 of the April, 1905,issue. It is probably the simplest design oftrailer truck now in successful use. The design of these locomotives was pre-pared by J. F. DeVoy, mechanical engineer,under the direction of A. E. Manchester,superintendent of motive power.
