The several applications of Teco timber connectors to railway structures are discussed in a report to the American Railway Engineering Association by their subcommittee on "specifications and Design of Fastenings for Timber Structures."

Speaking of metal timber connectors, the bulletin says: "Without doubt the most important type of connector for timber trestle construction is the spike grid' With these connectors it is possible to develop a much larger portion of the inherent strength of the braces than is practical by other methods and the stiffness of the joints is greatly increased."

Attention is also called to the economical importance of clamping plates for use as tie spacers for maintaining proper distance between ties on railroad bridges and trestles.
