ROLL STABILIZER FOR NEW PASSENGER CARS

The object of this study was to design a torque bar type of Roll Stabilizer for application to General Steel Castings trucks, to meet roll limitations of certain railroads. The resulting design almost meets the roll restraint that is produced by the stiff springs recommended by B&O, and should noticeably improve the ride of the present long travel springs.
