(2) The next operation consists in placing the sideframes on each two pairs of wheels and inserting holsterand spring plank. (3) Springs are inserted under the holsters, and jour-nal boxes, hearings, wedges, and packing applied. (4) Brake beams and shoes are applied. All partsare tightened up and the trucks are discharged to the carshop. While this work is going on the cars are being erectedas rapidly as possible in the erecting shop. Two sets oferection tracks are used in the steel shop, so that two carsare being built simultaneously. The cars are moved upone track and down the next so that the complete bodyis built in 12 positions. It is then so located that it can. Method of Riveting of Underframe in the Building of PennsylvaniaBox Cars in the Cambria Shops of the Bethlehem Steel Co. be lifted by a crane to a trucking track where it is placedon the trucks. The routine of assembly is as follows: Position 1.—Lnits for center sill assembly ar? broughttogether here and riveted. Position 2.—Center sill is assembled and mounted onbuilding trucks. Position 3.—Crossbearers, bolsters and end sill diago-nal braces are applied. Position 4.—Riveting position. Above parts riveted. Position 5.—Draft gear, couplers, and miscellaneousparts of underframe applied, Position 6.—Riveting position. All turnover is turned over in order to complete rivetingof all of the assembled parts. Position 7.—Ends and sides assembled. Door jig ap-plied. Body squared up. Position 8.—Application of roof. Position (K—Riveting position. Position
