A represents a portion of' the body-timbers ot' a railroad-car. B are boards. in whose edges are formed grooves C and kerts D\vhieh penetrate the substance of the board obliquely upward, and receive angle-strips, tongues, or gutters E, ot' sheet metal which has been pre vously bent to an angle slightly more acute than the angles ot' the kert's D. These gutters, being inserted inthe act of putting up the vroof and the. boardsbeing driven snugly together, the whole forms, as it were, a singe compact sheathing, the glitters operating as tongues to hold the boards immovably to one `sag away from the. boards, and is thus free from a defect incident to previous devices of this class, which, although specially supported at intervals by wooden or other purlins, yet, in time, sag down between their points of support and become useless.
My gutterpieces may be made ot' any suitable sheet metal, such as tin plate, galvanized iron, or copper.
