The Compagnie Belge manufacturers of general machinery locomotive and rolling stock exhibit amongst their other railway plant a ten ton goods or cattle truck of which we now give drawings Fig 1 is a half elevation and half section Fig 2 a plan and Figs 3 and 4 a section and end view respectively. In its general dimensions and arrangement it corresponds exactly with similar vehicles in use on the Belgian states railways but with the exception of an oak flooring it is constructed entirely of iron The body is formed of panels sheet iron riveted on the outer side to angle and channel irons which latter surround the body of the truck in single lengths A door is placed on each of the four sides those at the being hung on hinges whilst the others are carried on rollers as seen in Fig I An inclined plane is placed at each end of the truck to facilitate the ingress and egress of cattle and the binges to which the doors are hung are arranged adapt themselves to the varying positions of the plane.

There are four sets of fixed louvres in each side of the Fig 1 which can be covered either partially or altogether the outside by sheet iron slides which work in grooves are moved by the handles shown in elevation

The frame is formed of two longitudinal channel irons connected by cross beams of an I section a judicious of gusset and stiffening pieces removing the necessity of any bracing Brackets are riveted to the outside of the frames to which the body of the truck is secured and the structure is mounted upon disc wheels furnished with Bessemer axles On referring to Fig 2 it will be seen that the draw hooks are connected with a central frame which runs along whole length ot the truck and is rivetted by gusset plates the end framing Tins forms a central support for the planking and takes the place of draw bar and springs The total of the vehicle is a little over 6 tons and nearly a ton than a similar truck constructed in wood".. see page 179 of source, Aug 30 1867
