These are the arguments that maybe raised pro and con for the twomethods of bracing. Now what does that comprehensiveschool of car construction, the repairyard, tell us? The accompanying reproductions ofphotographs show the effects on endsills and bracing of heavy blows deliv-ered against the drawbar and centerline of the car. Attention is first called to a series of straight. This is brought out moreclearly in the three supplemental pho-tographs of these details. They showeach of these three pieces as straightas when they were new and freshlyput in position, demonstrating that inthis particular case, at least, they were.
