This measurementassumes the car is empty and is positionedon reasonably level track. If reasonablylevel track conditions cannot be obtained,the Sum of the Pairs method can be usedby adding the measurements for the twoside bearings on each truck.

No individual spaceshould be less than 9/16".If the tolerances are exceeded, and the caris empty, it must be shopped and the carbody side bearing shims adjusted to obtainthe specified setup height (see page 48).www.stucki.com39
