Abstract: A railway truck having a suspension wherein pivotal suspension links are connected between the pedestal openings of a truck side frame and the bearing adaptor of the bearing received within the respective pedestal opening to suspend the side frame with respect to the bearing adaptor so as to permit limited relative lateral and longitudinal motion of the axle and wheel set with respect to the side frame.
Abstract: A railway freight truck bolster friction assembly and more particularly improved friction assemblies of elastomeric material which are adapted to be captively retained intermediate an axial end portion of a boltster member and an adjacent side frame.

Abstract: A hydraulic snubber device and more particularly, a snubber adapted to be interposed between a bolster and a side frame member and being operative to provide a first damping rate when the railway car is operating on tangent track and at equilibrium speed on super elevated track and to provide a second relatively higher damping rate when the railway car is operating on super elevated track at low speed and in all instances of severe rocking.
Abstract: An apparatus for railway freight car control including a damping device adapted to be interposed between a bolster end and side frame member in a manner that the longitudinal axis thereof is inclined inwardly towards the swing axis of the side frame thus providing for a combined control effect for hunting and swaying.
Abstract: A railway truck side bearing and more particularly an improved side bearing assembly utilizing elastomeric means disposed within multiple abutment channels to control railway freight vehicle hunting.
Abstract: A railway truck side bearing and more particularly an improved side bearing assembly utilizing elastomeric means to control railway freight vehicle hunting while simultaneously providing a free rolling bearing means to facilitate swiveling of the truck with respect to the car body.
Abstract: A hydraulic snubber device and method of damping for railway trucks and more particularly a snubber adapted to be interposed between a bolster and a side frame member and being operative to provide a first damping rate when the railway car is operating on tangent track or at equilibrium speed on super elevated track and to provide a second relatively higher damping rate when the railway car is operating on super elevated track at low speed and in all instances of severe rocking.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for resiliently positioning and restraining a freight car truck axle bearing with respect to a side frame pedestal opening.
Abstract: A hydraulic snubber assembly for railroad car trucks and more particularly a hydraulic snubber which is disposed intermediate a bolster and side frame and which includes improved means for biasing and maintaining such snubber into operational position.
