Steam Hammer

To unload, the grab hook is removed and the movement of the log slides chock block over end of bunk as illustrated in figure. The chock block on opposite end is readily adjusted to the position desired.

The men are never required to get on the unloading side of car. In flat car service the cost of all wooden stakes and blocks is eliminated, a saving alone in one year more than the cost of the Hercules Bunks.

Flat Cars can be unloaded in a fraction of the time, with absolutely no danger to employees, and the strain on car body reduced to a minimum, thereby increasing the life of the car.

When applied to flat cars a steel channel is substituted for the I-beam.

It is especially adapted for use on our Connected Trucks, and patents have been granted covering its application to this class of car.

This invention is thoroughly protected by patents in the United States and Canada and is manufactured exclusively by

Seattle Car & Foundry Company SEATTLE, U. S. A.
