Channels are used for end sills, withcastings to reinforce the center portions and compensate forthe coupler shank openings. At the corners of the under-framing bracing angles are riveted to the inner faces of theend sillj, reaching diagonally to the center sills. The brake«ylinders are mounted under the ends of the hoppers. This construction will be better understood by consider-ing the usual underframe of the car as dispensed with alto-gether and the weight carried on the body bolsters by meansof the vertical struts of the side frames, which are attachedto the ends of the bolsters. The office of the center sills ismerely to connect the bolsters together and to deal with thepulling and buffing stresses. In the weight diagram the va
