60-CENTIMETER GAUGE EQUIPMENT.
Section A.—GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
(Refer to Plates I to XIV, inclusive.)
In certain cases the railway mortar car will have to be transported
over 60-centimeter gauge (i. e., 23.625-inch gauge) track to the firing
position. In these cases it will be necessary to remove the standard
gauge trucks from under the railway mortar car and replace them
with 12-wheel 60-centimeter gauge trucks. The mortar will also
have to be dismounted from the carriage and transported on a 60-
centimeter gauge mortar transport car as the railway mortar car
would be " top heavy " with the mortar in place.
Plates I and II give suggested arrangements of cars on standard
and 60-centimeter gauge tracks in order to remove the mortar trans¬
port car from the supply car; to remove the mortar from the car¬
riage to the mortar transport car and also to remove the standard
gauge trucks from the railway mortar car and replace them with
60-centimeter gauge trucks. Inclined runways, which will be de¬
scribed later, are used to remove the mortar transport car from the
supply car and also to remove the mortar from the carriage.
To give a better foundation for the H beams of the ground plat¬
form than the 60-centimeter gauge metal ties can afford, large ties
are placed under the rails at the firing position, the small metal
ties resting on these larger ones. Additional blocks are likewise
placed under the jack blocking when jacking the car, in order that
the weight from the jacks may be transmitted directly to the ground.
Before bringing the railway mortar car up to the firing position,
the section of track which will come under the drop part of car will
be removed. A pit will be dug about 9 feet wide, 20 feet long, and
of a depth below bottom of rails equal to combined depth of small
and large ties. The large ties will be laid in this pit so that the small
ties will rest on top of them when relaid. The track and ground plat¬
form will then be placed on these large ties and the outriggers set in
a similar manner as for standard gauge and equipment. (See Pamph¬
let No. 2024, Handbook of Railway Mortar Car, Model 1918. MI and
Mil. See Pt. I, Sec. II. and PI. III.)

Section B.—THE MORTAR-TRANSPORT CAR.
(0) DESCRIPTION.
( Refer to Plate III.)
For list of parts with their piece marks and the material of which
they are made, see page HO.
The frame or body is of built-up construe tion. being composed of
plates, angles, and channels, and is carried bv two (i-wlieel narrow-
gauge trucks. It has two fish-belly girder sills, approximately HO feet
long and spaced Hf inches apart, reinforced and connected by two cross-
ties near the center, a bolster near each end and end sill at each end.
Two channels are interposed between end sills for attaching the draft
gears and supporting the hand brake wheel shaft.
Standard M. C. B. center plates are attached to the bottom of each
bolster, and side bearings are riveted to each end of bolsters, spaced
41.75 inches between centers.
The top flanges of the side sills form runways for the wheels of the
mortar cradle trucks when mounting the mortar on the car. The tops
of sills are depressed at center, being flat, a distance of approximately
67 inches and tapered upward toward each end.
Hinge connections are provided at each end of the sills for attach¬
ing runways for transferring mortar from the mortar carriage.
These connections also provide means for attaching cables for loading
the transport car onto a standard gauge supply car.
The draft gear and couplers are the same as used on 60-centimeter
gauge cars built for the United States Government. Two castings
fastened to the draft sill channels hold the draft spring and act as
guides for the spring seat plate. A rod, having a nut with split pin
resting against the inside spring plate, extends through the center
of the spring coil and is fastened to the eye of the drawbar by a pin.
The other end of the drawbar terminates in a flanged butting end
having a socket in which the coupler link fits. Pins with curved
latches to prevent them from falling out of the holes are used to hold
the coupler link to the drawbars. The drawbar is free to swing hori¬
zontally on the inner connection pin-and is guided by top and bottom
bars fastened to the side sills.
The six-wheel trucks are pedestal type and consist essentially of
three sets of chilled cast-iron wheels, with axles, 3.25 by 5.25 inch
journals, journal bearings, top equalizers mounted in side frames,
springs and seats, and a cast-steel bolster or transom. These trucks
are duplicates of the forward truck of the 12-wheel truck shown on
Plate V. The wheels are 15.75 inches in diameter, with the flanges of
the middle set omitted so that the trucks will go around curved with¬
out bending. The side frames are built of plates and angles tied
together by the bolster or transom with a 0.375-inch cover plate on
11
top and with bars at the ends. Channels riveted between the side
plates of each side frame guide the journal boxes and have a tie-
plate bolted at the lower end. Two spring coils seated in castings
fastened to the top of each side frame distribute one-half of the load
coming on the side frames to the equalizer beams under them. The
ends of these beams rest on adjacent journal boxes, the springs being
so arranged that the load resting on each journal box will be one-third
of the weight coming on the side frames. The transoms of the truck
are equipped with roller side bearings and with a center plate.
Each truck is equipped with hand brakes, the wheel and ratchet
being supported at diagonally opposite ends of the car by brackets
bolted to the side channels. The brake-wheel shafts, about which the
brake chain is wound, extends to the draft sill. Brake shoes are hung
from the side frames, and the brake beams and levers are so arranged
that the force from the brake chain will be equally distributed at the
six wheels.

Section C.—THE RAILWAY MORTAR CAR 12-WHEEL TRUCKS.
((/) DESCRIPTION.
I npfor to Plato VIII. i
For list of parts, piece marks, and the material of which they
are made, see page 32.
The trucks used to transport the railway motar car over 60-centi-
meter gauge tracks consists of span bolsters, each mounted on two
6-wheel pedestal type trucks, similar to the trucks of the mortar
transport car described in Section B, Division (a).
Each span bolster is made up of side-sill channels and a built-up center
sill with transoms over each 6-wheel truck and under the body bolster
of the railway gun car, the latter transoms being placed midway
between the former ones. The span bolster extends from the transom
over the innermost truck, cantilevering over the end truck to a curved
end-sill channel. This overhanging portion supports the draft
gears and the hand brake.
The draft gears are similar to the draft gear used on the mortar
transport car and are fastened to the center sill. Curved angles
bolted to the curved end sills guide the drawbars.
As stated above, the trucks are similar to the ones used for the
mortar transport car, the only exception being that one truck of each
12-wheel combination is equipped with brakes. The brakes mecha-
Hi
nism is also similar to that of the mortar transport car, the wheels
shaft, and pawl mechanism being supported by brackets attached to
the side sill.

Section D.—RIGGING FOR ADAPTING EQUIPMENT FOR TRANSPOR¬
TATION OVER 60-CENTIMETER GAUGE TRACK.
(a) DESCRIPTION.
(Refer to Plates I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and IX.)
For list of parts with their piece marks and the material of which
they are made, see page 34.
When traveling over standard-gauge roads the mortar transport
car (without the mortar) is carried on a supply car equipped with
rails, stay rods, and wheel blocks (see PI. VI). To remove it from the
supply car the latter is placed on a section of concentric 60-centimeter
and standard-gauge track, and the mortar transport car is run down
an inclined runway (see PI. VII). This runway is composed of a
line of two 12-inch channels, braced together and resting on the 60-
centimeter gauge rails at their lower ends and on the stake pockets of
the supply car at their upper ends. In between they rest on blocking
supported by channels laid across the standard-gauge rails. The car
is moved With a car pusher and is prevented from running down the
incline too swiftly by a block and tackle attached to the wing plates
on the side channels of the transport car and to the drawbar of the
supply car or some other convenient stationary object. This same
equipment is used to load the transport car on the supply car.
Another runway is provided to remove the mortar in its sleigh from
the carriage cradle and place it on the. mortar transport car (see
PI. III). It consists of two lines of five channels each braced together,
which line up with and connect at their lower end to the side channels
of the transport car. The section of the runway nearest the breech
of the mortar has two 6-inch channels placed between and parallel to
the main channels, to which they are bolted, being properly spaced by
separators. These 6-inch channels are connected to each other by
braces across their ends. They form an auxiliary runway on which
the auxiliary mortar truck travels. The section of the runway which
extends over the carriage platform is level. A ways support made
110759—19 3
18
up of channels and plates is bolted to the racer of the carriage. To
the top of this support the bottom flanges of the runway are bolted
after a 0.125-inch shim has been inserted between the support and
each flange. On the outrigger beam is placed a platform blocking,
and on this the rear end of the carriage platform rests. Two 0.125-
inch shims are placed on the carriage platform at this point, one under
each flange of the runway. The function of these shims and those on
the ways support is to prevent any of the weight of the runway from
coming upon the carriage platform except where it is supported by the
platform blocking. The platform blocking also forms a bearing for
the ways blocking bolted to the underside of the next section of the
runway. Another ways blocking bolted to the underside of the
runway at the joining of the second and third sections rests on the
platform of the mortar car. Between the mortar car and the transport
car, at the points where the third and fourth and fourth and fifth
sections of the runway connect, two ways supports are placed. These
are of different heights hut similar design. Each is a frame made
up of a base, placed in a trench underneath the track rails, two struts,
with two cross braces, and a beam extending across the top through
which passes a tie rod to an evebolt in the base. The other end of
the fifth section is connected to the ends of the side sills of the trans¬
port car bv pins. A support is also placed under the stiffening
brackets, near the end of the transport car, to prevent the car from
tipping when the weight of the mortar comes upon it.
Before erecting the runway, if the rear platform of the mortar car
is toward the transport car, the loading track must be removed, if the
front platform of the mortar car is toward the transport car, the
float loading bracket must be removed. The brake mast must also
be removed from the platform of the mortar car and the loading tray,
crane mast, and folding platforms from the carriage platform.
Before hauling the mortar and its sleigh from the carriage cradle
the air must be let out of recuperator cylinder, (see Pamphlet Xo.
J987, Handbook of 12-inch Railway Mortar Carriage. Model 1918, Pt.
II. Sec. C), the plunger pushed back into the cylinder and secured
and the pull-rod bracket must be removed from the front sleigh yoke.
A mortar-hauling yoke, consisting of two channels, between which a
sheave is mounted at each end, is connected to the rear sleigh yoke
by two brackets and four book bolts. The auxiliary mortar truck is
placed on the auxiliary runway between the channels of the main run¬
way and as near to the breech of the motar as possible. A noose is
put around the channels of the mortar-hauling yoke and attached to a
five-fall tackle, which, at its other end, is made fast to the safety
chains of the mortar car. By this tackle the sleigh, with the mortar
in it, is drawn out from the carriage cradle till the rear sleigh
yoke is over the auxiliary mortar truck. Wedges are inserted between
19
the sleigh yoke and truck till the weight rests 011 the truck, which is
then hauled to the end of the auxiliary runway, where stops prevent
it from running off. The cradles of the mortar truck are placed un¬
der the sleigh between and as close to the front and rear yokes as
possible and are supported by blocking resting on the auxiliary run¬
way. The wheels of the mortar truck connected by their axles are
then placed 011 the main runway and the bearing connections or side
frames of the truck are slipped over the ends of the axles. Care must
be taken to see that the jack screws in the bearings are screwed down
as far as they will go. When correctly placed the jack screws will be
directly under holes in the cradle supports. The tie rods between
the bearings are then inserted and fastened and the diagonal braces
bolted to the bearings. The screws which hold the cradle-support
guides to the cradle supports are removed and the guides bolted to
the bearings. The jack screws operated by the ratchet handles used
for the screw jacks of the car .are raised until they take the weight
of the mortar and the sleigh. The auxiliary mortar truck is removed
and the blocking which support the mortar-truck cradles. A 0.625
cable by 150 feet long is passed from winch, located on the plat¬
form of the mortar car farthest from the transport car, over a guide
sheave mounted in a bracket 011 the left-side frame of the carriage,
around the two sheaves of the mortar-hauling yoke to a pin held in a

Section A.—SHELL CAR.
(a) description.
(Refer to Plates X and XII.)
For list of parts, piece marks, and the material of which they are
made, see page 34.
The 60-centimeter gauge shell car is a liigh-sided gondola car with
steel nnderframe mounted on two 4-wheel trucks. It is equipped with
shell racks and trolley hoists for handling shells.
The underframe consists of two side sills and a center sill, each
made up of 8-inch shipbuilding channels. At each end these sills
are tied together with curved 8-inch channel sills, over trucks with
holsters composed of two diaphragms with cover plates and in between
the trucks by two cross bearers composed of a diaphragm with cover
plates. The underframe is covered with yellow-pine flooring secured
to the sills with carriage bolts.
The sides and end of the car, which are 2 feet high, are also com¬
posed of yellow-pine planking reinforced at the top with 0.187-inch
plate. These side and end boards are bolted to the angles riveted to
the side sills.
The trolley, which is a 7 inch by 20 pound I beam, extends the full
length of the car and is hung with its bottom 6 feet 7 inches above
floor from channel and angle frames, forming an inverted V above
side planks. The Z-bar end stakes extend above the side planks and
are riveted at their top to the trolley support frames. Across these
end stakes are riveted angles, which support the removable loading-
track extension from the loading platform on the railway mortar
. car. Two triplex trolley block hoists equipped with chain and hooks
are mounted on the trolley beam.
Four oak racks are used to support 24 shells. The car is provided
■with grab irons and steps at each end.
The trucks are composed of two sets of 15.75-inch diameter wheels
with axles, four journal boxes and bearings, two arch bars, four
columns, two coil springs, a spring plank and a bolster with column
guides, side bearings, and center plates (see PI. XI). The journal

26
boxes are held between ends of tie and arch bars by long bolts and the
columns are fastened between upper and lower bars of arch bar by
long bolts. The spring plank rests on the lower part of arch bars
between columns, being riveted to them, thus spacing the arch bars,
and the bolster is guided by the columns directly over the spring
plank. Springs are located between these and are held in place bv
spring guides riveted to the ends of the spring plank and bolster.
At one end of the car is a brake mast which operates brakes on one
truck only. The shoes are hung from brackets attached to columns
by U-bolt hangers and are attached to the ends of two brake beams
operated by levers.
The car is equipped with radial couplers, the same as are provided
on the mortar transport car.
(h) METHOD OF HANDLING SHELLS.
Utefet to Plate XIT.I
In general, the method of handling the shells is the same as for the
standard-gauge ammunition car. Part T. Section A. Division (b >.
Two shell racks are first placed adjacent to each other on the car floor
with pointed notches of one rack next to one side of car and pointed
notches of other rack next to opposite side of car. Six shells are then
placed on each rack. Two more racks and another tier of shells are
then placed on top of the lower shells.
The upper shells nearest the railway mortar car. when in action,
are first transported by the trolley and placed on the shell truck and
then pushed over the loading track to the loading platform. After
the upper tier has been removed the top racks are removed and the
lower shells removed in a similar manner.
