July, ipio- Quick Dumping Ore Car Tlic traiisiiortati 11 of ore from themines to the docks at the great lakes andthe unloading of the ore from the car?on the docks into the vessels for trans-portation over the Ukes has always beenan important part in the economical pro-duction of iron and steel and the rail-road companies engaged in this work i„g of vessels as well as less detention ofthe cars. The Pressed Steel Car Company hasjust completed a sample car representinga lot of 300 cars which they are buildingat their Chicago plant, the Western SteelCar & Foundry Company, for the Duluth& Iron Range Railroad, and the Duluth,Missabe & Northern Railroad. These. ORK C.\R. have- endeavored to obtain the best carsfor the purpose. The development of the cars to meetmodern requirements on the lines ofgreater capacity, and greater rapidity ofunloading has been considerably ham-pered bv the permanent and expensiveconstruction of the docks with pocketsat short regular distances correspondmgto that between the hatches on the ves-sels and in accordance with which the oldequipment of wooden cars had been built,and which cannot be changed withoutbuilding new docks and changing the ves-sels. Builders and designers of ore carsfor this service were required to work inaccordance with these conditions, which,together with the comparatively limitedknowledge jn former years as to thestrength anil endurance of steel in carconstruction, resulted in the building ofcars, not especially adapted to a rapidunloading. Recently the question of a re-duction in time and labor requi
