[edit] Summary

I drew it for Wikipedia on Feb. 25 2008 from an Ann Arbor Railroad mechanical drawing of Nov. 25 1969. Software used: Appleworks 6.

This is a brake diagram, intended to show the lever and rod arrangements. It is flattened into two dimensions for that purpose. Gray areas give only the general shape of the railroad car. Rod lengths are not accurate (and don't matter). Lever lengths are accurate from the Ann Arbor Railroad drawings for a 77 ton gondola, #2000 to #2094, built 1969.
