Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freight Car Equipment: A Reference Book for Car Men on Freight Car Work, Describing and Illustrating in Detail the Different Kinds of Freight Cars Now Built and Various Devices Used in Their Construction, and Repairs; It Also Contains Instructions on the Westinghouse and New Yo After the issue of book entitled "Freight Repairs," several years ago, a number of requests were received from car men throughout the country, asking for a more complete book on the same line, covering freight car work. Instead of these requests diminishing they have of late become so numerous that the publisher has at last yielded to this strong influence in attempting to give car men in this issue a larger book on freight car repairs and construction. In offering this book to the railroad public, it is the purpose and aim of the publisher to furnish the Car Department with a ready means of reference on freight car work, and especially on repairs to foreign cars. Great care has been taken in compiling this data and the weights, labor charges, and other tables, are believed to be as nearly correct as is possible to obtain. In the illustrations only such devices are shown that are at present being used in freight car construction and repairs. Each subject is condensed as much as possible, and only a treatise given on such work as will be of value and assistance to Car Foremen, Inspectors and Repairers, in making repairs; inspecting; ordering material and in various ways facilitating the work of the Car Department.
