No chafingplates are used, but the wearing surfaces at both the middleand ends of the bolsters are very large, so that the wear willprobably be very slight, and as these surfaces are compara-tively deep and the clearance between the bolster and thetransoms is only \L in., there will be no tendency for thebolster to cant or bind. The bolster is 11% ins. deep at thecentre and 6 ins. at the ends, except where it is raised to t
