ABSTRACT:
A clevis end connecting rod such as a truck lever connection rod, brake cylinder push rod, brake rod end, etc., utilized on railroad cars and the like, is manufactured by forming a piece of straight metal bar stock with a central offset and then transversely severing the bar stock at the central portion of the offset and then realigning the severed bar ends with each other to form a bifurcated jaw having laterally spaced side portions merging to contact at their offset ends with their surfaces of severance lying in a common plane. One end of an elongated piece of metal stock is butted up against the severed end surfaces and there welded. Aligned bores are provided in the bifurcated arms to receive a common connecting pin therethrough. Alternatively, the bar stock formed with the central offset may be transversely severed at a predetermined angle relative to the free end of the bar, and a straight piece of metal stock is also severed at the same angle and a severed piece of the offset stock is aligned with the severed piece of straight stock to form a bifurcated jaw having laterally spaced parallel side portions with the offset of the severed piece of the offset stock converging to contact the severed end of the piece of straight stock with their surfaces of severance aligned such that they are lying in a common plane. The elongated piece of metal stock is then butted up against these aligned severed end surfaces and welded.
