Cast-iron side bearings are boltedto the outer ends of the bolster. The weight of the bolsterand center pin load is carried on full elliptic springs builtup of jM$-in. plates 6 in. wide and designed for a normal loadof 12,365 lb. each. The brake rigging is inside hung. A12-in. x 12-in. brake cylinder is located midway between thetrucks and attached to the center platform sills. The brakepiston is attached to the truck levers through a system of. Apparatus of Woodward Locomotive in Place with CabEnd Removed floating levers arranged symmetrically on the two sides ofthe locomotive. The central cab contains the apparatus directly manipu-lated in the control of the locomotive, while the auxiliaryend cabs contain the auxiliary apparatus. The width ofall the cabs is slightly less than the platform width, leavinga running board about 10 in. wide. The cabs themselvesare built of soft sheet steel plates. Doors and windows areframed in small angles and channels riveted to the inside ofthe cab sheet and serving the double purpose of framing the doors and windows and of stiffening the cab sheets. Theview of an end cab removed shows the arrangement of theauxiliary apparatus. At the outer end of the platform arelocated the air reservoirs and sand boxes. Next to themthe rheostats are located on one side and a bank of con-tactors upon the opposite side, the latter supported on achannel iron framework built up from
