Abstract
The author feels that in creating luxurious passenger cars, economical limits have been exceeded by introducing costly, complicated, and over-engineered appurtenances. The same criticism applies to truck design. Excessive weight and complications militate against long life of truck and track, and maintenance costs are high. He analyzes the components of the truck and points out where improvements can be made, finally suggesting the characteristics of the passenger-car truck of the future.
