To n!! whom. it muy ro/tffw'n.: i i inserting the'ends'of the axles in apertures inn view ol the floor and sideblanli.

Bo it known that l., FRAN KV. BARTIETT, a

'citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at De.-

The roof F isformed from a rectangular blank, preferably of metal, havin slotsf and slits h,'by bending down the ans and sides or lstamping, into convex form and leaving the arched triangles h along the slits lt to form the windows or ventilators H.

'fore' or at f thesanie time with the stamping the slits are pulled out and formed into winv dows 'by the stretching process.

' What I claim as r'nyv invention is-,

and portions bent out to form the couplings,

substantially as described. 2. In a toy vehicle the combination with a sin le piece of sheet metal vforming the floor tions 'bent up to formk the sides and ral ings', portions bent out to form couplings, and portions vturned down toform steps and edestals, of wheels journaled in said pe estals and a roof secured to said sidesffoi` the purpose described. f
