Fig. 74. A Regular 2-Rail Underslung Transfer Truck.
In [Figure 75] will be seen the Regular 3-rail Underslung type of Transfer Car designed for the handling of 2-rail kiln cars which have been loaded "end-wise." This car also has the important features of large diameter wheels and low rail construction, which make it very easy in its operation.

In [Figure 76] will be seen the Special 2-rail Flexible type of Transfer Car designed for the handling of 3-rail kiln cars which have been loaded "cross-wise." This car is equipped with double the usual number of wheels, and by making each set of trucks a separate unit (the front and rear trucks being bolted to a steel beam with malleable iron connection), a slight up-and-down movement is permitted, which enables this transfer car to adjust itself to any unevenness in the track, which is a very good feature.
