DOOR HINGES
The Door Hinge is composed of two halves, (Male and Female),
Pin and Bronze Bushings. The Female half is installed
on the Body Pillar and its two lips are drilled for a drive fit
for the Hinge Pin.
The Male half is installed on the Door and its single lip
drilled large to admit a Bronze Bushing on the upper and
lower side which are pressed in place then reamed to a slight
clearance for the Hinge Pin. (See Illustration No. 62.)
It is composed of two Shoes, each of which is backed up
with two rubber encased coiled springs. These are housed in
a metal case which is clinched to a Cover Plate.
When the Door is closed the Wedgeplate is forced between
the two Shoes and the springs are compressed. The Wedgeplate
should enter between the Shoes centrally.
