Text Appearing Before Image:
SEMI-CONVERTIBLE CARS FOR A GREATER NEW YORK SUBURB The accompanying illustration shows one of a lot of cars now being received by the New York & North Shore Railway Co. from the J. G. Brill Co. of Philadelphia. This type of car, known as the Brill patented semi-convertible, has become so widely and favorably known as a suburban and interurban all year round car that it is not surprising to learn that nearly all the box cars in course action at the Brill company’s shops are of that

style. It is a type which appeals to the public no less than the operators in that the car is always prepared to meet every change in the weather without going to the barn. It is puzzling, even to an expert, to understand how large straight-rindows arc contained in the roof when not in use, without changing the appearance, inside or out, from that of a standard type car. Another feature that is hard to understand is the ease with which the windows arc operated; their action is partly automatic, but so simple that it is next to impossible to get them out of order. The length of these cars over the crown-pieces is 34 ft. 9 in. width over the sills, 7 ft. 9¾ in. and 8 ft. at belt. The interiors are1 in natural cherry with birch ceilings. Spring cane reversible-back seats for 36 persons are placed transversely.
