The corner postsare 5 inches square, rabbeted on the insidefor the lining; the sheathing passing overboth outside faces. Measures have been taken to produce Conducted by ORVILLE H. REYNOLDS, M. E. an end in this car that is exceptionallystrong, and one that has, in a markeddegree, points that are unique in freight-car design, vieing closely with the bestrecent passenger-car work in respect ofthe introduction of steel at the weakestplace in the car; and it is certainly amatter for commendation when the oldmethods, that have been found so sadlywanting, are cast aside for a construction ! which is built up the complete end, andw-hich takes the place of the end sill as afoundation for the posts and end braces;it will be noted as a heroic departurefrom the old weak end, so long andpiously adhered to. Resting on this sill at the corners arecast-iron pockets for the 3 x 4-inch endbraces, the pockets having a flange whichextends up on the inside face of corner.

As the illustrations show, there is asub-sill, s inches deep and yYi, incheswide, on top of the sills and resting oneinch on the outside sills; it is rabbetedon the underside 2 inches, leaving abeveled lip on the inner face to lap overthe flooring, and is secured at the cross-ing of each long sill by a f^-inch boltwith cast washers. This is the timber on posts, to which they are secured by a5^-inch bolt with the head let in flushunder the sheathing; the pockets are alsosecured to the sub-sill by a ^-inch bolt;the whole forming an angle iron stifTenerat the corner, in addition to its functionas a pocket for the end brace. The end intermediate posts are of acomposite character, made up of 4-inch,7-pound I-beams, to which are secured3 X 4-inch
