The construction of the sides of the caris clearly shown by the cross sections onthe lines A C, D E and F G. The section at ^ C is taken, as indi-cated on the full length plan of the car,at a point near the end of the center sec-tion, where the depth of the side plates isthe greatest.

The bent partis cut off flush with the line of the straightpart of the head or bulb. This brings theinside line of the stake nearly flush withthe inside face of the offset portion of theside sheet. At the bottom the floor is rivetted to the top of the flanges of the bottom sideangle and to a similar angle riveted to the bottom of the center sills. It is stif-fened by a cross bearer made of a 5 in.bulb angle, which lies on top of the floorand is riveted, with it, to the angle atthe bottom of the center sill. At the outside the two bulb angles areconnected by the gusset a and, at the innerend, a similar gusset stiffens the connec-tion between the cross bearer and thecenter sill.
