The standard modern coach weighs ony 84,900 pounds. For every passenger carried, the new coach has KtOO pounds of open hearth stoe. Kach truck weighs 12,5uO pouuds. The feature of construction, the fac tor whieh secures the car against the dangers of collision, is the central box girder, 24 inches wide by 19 inches deep, extending throughout the length' of the car. As a further insurance against collapsing, its frame struclure has been built upon the principle of the cantilever bridge, suspended on the trucks at piers. It is equipped with a new type of coupler, stronger than any thing used before, and socially de sigue to avoid any possibility of break age. and the resulting parting of trains. The floor is of magnesium cement, laid on corrugated iron. The coach is lighted by electricity, derived from t liilti gem nit.m' oi- storage batteries. The heating and ventilating are upon the most approved principles. ORDINANCE NO. 149.
