Reading edition

Taking off a Heat

The illustration shows the Cast Steel Bolster and Bunk, with which we equip our 80,000 pounds capacity Hercules Trucks, making practically an all steel truck, and when an all steel truck is required this is accomplished by the application of Steel Draft Sills. This Bolster and Bunk is designed with a great factor of safety and there is no record of a failure of this equipment in service. The Bunks or Bolster will not deflect, which means that there is always clearance between the side bearings which greatly reduces the danger of derailment on a curve.

This Bunk can be furnished in either 9 or 10 foot length. The weight of this Bolster with 9 foot Bunk is 1250 pounds, and with 10 foot Bunk is 1300 pounds.
