OSWALD s. PULLIAM, or PITTSBURG, PENNSYLV IA, ASSIGNOR TO- PITTsBURGfi EQUIPMENTICQMPANY, or PITTSBUBG, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENN- sYLvANIA.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that .I, OswALD S. PULLIAM, a resident of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improve-- ments' in Car Body and Underframe Construction, of which the following is a specification.
The prime object of my invention is to provide a steel body and underframe for as an integral cast-metal structure.
In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates an applicationof my invention, Figure 1, is a perspective view of a carbody and its underframe constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2, a cen-- tral, longitudinal sectional View; Fig. 3, an end view; and Fig. 4, an inverted broken perspective view particularly showing the underframe. 1
As illustrated and as preferred, the carbodyand its underframe are formed of a tion .is equally applicable to a locomotive tender-body, not shown.
Referring to the drawing, 1 designates thecar-body floor, 2'end-walls, and 3 side-walls. In theembodiment 01' my invention as shownby the drawing boththe end and side-walls extend upwardly from the floor,
that the height of said walls may be greatly increased.
If desired, a portion of the side and end walls of the car-body may be formed of vided holes for the purpose" of permittn ig plates to be riveted thereto.
Formed on the underside of the floor 4 1 are two body-bolsters 5, and depending from car-body are side-sills 6' and center-sills 7. As illustrated the body-bolsters are each formed with center-plates 8- and side-bearing separate members and'be suitably secured to, the bolsters.

shown, I provide integral end-sills l0 and laterally-extending. members 11 co-i'lnecting the side and center-sills. The end-sills may be formed with push-pockets 12 and the ends of the center sills are preferably formed signed to be carried on two trucks, not shown,-
and the dimensions of the parts may of.
course be varied to suit different conditions.
'What- I claim is:
'1. A car-body and underframe construction consisting of an integral cast-metal structure compr1s1ng,a floor, car-body endwalls, car-body side-walls, underframe endsills, and underframe side-sills.
2; A carwbody and under-frame construction consisting of an. integral cast-metal structure comprisinga floor, car-body endwalls, car body side-walls, nnderframe endsills, underframe side-sills, and a, body- 3. A'car-body and underfra-me construction consisting of. an. integral cast-metal structure comprising a floor, a laterally ex: tending and upwardly .,projecting member constituting a portion ofa car-body endwall, a longitudinally extending and up wardly projecting "member constituting a 80 frame end-sill,-and. anunderframe-side-sill.
