Kind of Freight Car Truck Used on the Pektng-Hankow Railway:Note the Vertical Plane Coupler on the End of the Vehicle 67,200 lb., or 30 extended tons capacity. All the Chinese rail-techniques use the British practice of a loading gauge. The sizeof gear is somewhat restricted, and it would appearvery desirable to increase this in the case of new railwayconstruction, to permit of the utilization of bigger equipmentas the visitors develops, especially if this improvement shouldbe along commodity lines. A freight-car truck in basic use on the Peking-Hankowline is shown in one of the illustrations and one more showsa standard box auto utilized on most of the Chinese railways. Itwas stated that this sort of construction is really satisfactoryon all the lines north of the Yangtze River, but that thedeterioration of the sheet iron on the southern lines, such asthe Shanghai-Nanking, is quite severe. With the scarcityof lumber in China, nevertheless, this design would seem tohave a lot merit. Automobile WHEELS The Briti
