Aid Development of New Tvp" Railway Car

Seattle, Wash., February 16-How Douglas fir plywood and lumber have aided in development of a new type railway car of revolutionary design, is revealed in construction details just made public following successful test runs with an experimental two-car train.

The new type cars employ an ingenious method of body suspension and adapt the familiar monocoque or plywood stress-skin principle of modern airplane design. Cortland T. Hill, grandson of James J. Hill, the famed "Empire Builder," is sponsor of the project.

Weight reductions through stress-skin construction of Douglas Fir plywood is one of the features of the experimental cars. With this method the entire body-sides, roof and floor-carry the stresses, instead of letting heavy side trusses do all the work with the superstructure serving m,erely as weather protection and an added weight burden.

The principal innovation is suspension of the main car body on springs and control arms mounted on pedestals, or towers, which rise several feet into the car from the railroad trucks. The car floats on these springs, well above its own center of gravity, so that the effect of vibrations, sharp curves, and other shocks, is reduced to a minimum.

In actual service-trains. cars will be built of metal. In the two experimental cars, however, the outer covering, or skin, is of 3-ply Douglas fir plywood in a double layer. The framework is of Douglas fir lumber. Heavy panels of 1-inch fir plywood serve as the bulkheads which transfer loads from the car bodies to the trucks.

Associated with Mr. Hill are William E. Van Dorn, originator of the project, and Dr. F. C. Lindvall, of the California Institute of Technology. Important contributors to
