During the 1920s through 1950s a wide variety of types and styles of hand brakes were available. This included the use of vertical staff hand brakes with the wheel in a horizontal plane, geared power hand brakes with the wheel in either a vertical or horizontal plane, ratchet hand brakes, and lever hand brakes. Over time hand brake manufacturers introduced numerous changes to mechanisms and to the appearance of the wheels. Presented is a history of hand brake devices with more than 100 photos and illustrations of the many hand brakes installed on freight cars during this period. Also provided are tables listing A.A.R. certified geared hand brakes as of May 1944 and June 1959 New York Central 47' 11" Container Cars Page 60-70 by Pat Wider During the early 1930s the New York Central Railroad and L.C.L. Corporation continued the development of an early intermodal "Container-On-Flat-Car (COFC) service. The L.C.L. Corporation purchased 335 such cars from Standard Steel Car Company and American Car & Foundry Company in 1930 and 1931 with each car equipped with 6 containers and having an inside length of 47' 11". These drop-side cars were used in COFC service into the early 1950s before being converted by NYC with the permanent closing of the drop-sides.
