To meet this demand, cars ranging upward of 120 tons each in capacity have been built. This increase in size has required careful design and construction in order to provide ample strength to withstand the severe service, but also with the use of only a minimum amount of material. The use of all-steel underframes has become universal for practically all classes of freight cars, particularly for those cars intended for handling heavy materials, such as coal and iron, or ores in bulk; in many cases the body framing also and frequently the entire car is constructed of steel. The use of wood has practically been abolished in car truck con- struction and the use of cast steel, pressed and forged steel, or rolled steel parts has become general. -ED. ADV.
