A TRUCK DESIGN FOR TODAY'S CAR AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

Early 4-wheel trucks with coil spring suspensions are briefly discussed. The XL-70, 50-ton capacity truck is illustrated and described in detail. The XL-70 can use the AAR type hanger brake device, but can also be adapted for other types of brake devices. The journal box assembly and a sectional view of the frame and bolster assembly are shown.
