ABSTRACT:
A high capacity plate-type friction draft gear is disclosed for utilization with railroad cars. The draft gear has a friction clutch mechanism with a special two-piece split spring seat, so that two individual spring forces can be exerted separately against the friction shoes to maintain operability of the friction clutch mechanism when the various plates become worn to the point of normal replacement.
