He said he had, and that one had leftthe track at a curve not far from that place, the investigatingcommittee reporting the same old cause, surging of the oil andthe high center of gravity. There are a number of tank cars in service that have no under-frame, but have a continuous bottom sheet of sufficient area tomeet the M, C. B. requirements. These cars have the lowestcenter of gravity of any in service, yet the distance from thecenter of the coupler to the center of gravity of the bottomsheet causes such a leverage on the rivets which connect the draft Another good feature about this construction is that the centerof gravity of the continuous bottom sheet and the center lineof the coupler are practically in a line. This casting is providedwith push pole pockets and a place for jacking, and above all,it meets the M. C. B. re
