The other illustration is of a car of 60,000 pounds capacity Center
Dump Ballast with the ordinary Winding Shaft and Ratchet to operate
the Doors. The special feature of this car is the Radical Draft Gear
fitted with a Standard Automatic Coupler, as the car is operated around
a curve of 35 foot radius, and the Center Bearing is a Ball-bearing
mounted on Hemispherical Center which greatly reduces Flange wear on
curves. The Wheels are Griffin "F. C. S." Street Car type Flange and
Tread. The arrangement of the Hoppers is such as to confine the Dump
within the rails, which prevents waste of gravel, etc. A number of
these cars are in actual service and giving good satisfaction.
The prices of these cars have been made so reasonable as to place it
within reach of all. Send for quotations.
