FASTENERS REQUIRE NO DRILLING

A floor fastening system first developed for insulated and refrigerator cars has proved practical and economical for applying tongue-and-groove flooring in other types of cars. In addition to eliminating metal heat flow paths through the floors of insulated cars, the Townsend Drill-less floorbolt makes it unnecessary to do anything to floor boards but cut them to proper lengths.
