The car-builder's dictionary: an illustrated vocabulary of terms which designate American railroad cars, their parts and attachments
A technical glossary of American railroad car parts, published in New York in 1879 by the Railroad Gazette and compiled by the Master Car Builders' Association with Matthias Forney, Leander Garey and Calvin Smith for car builders and railroad men. The pictures are precise line drawings of a flat car truck, side and longitudinal sections of a wheel assembly, cast and spoked wheels, and the underframe, with clear dimensioned views a designer could use for mechanical diagrams and engineering-style linework.
