ABSTRACT:
A rotary railroad car coupler and attached draft gear are provided with strategically located stops for maintaining a predetermined clearance between the butt end of the shank of the coupler and the adjacent front follower of the draft gear when the coupler is in a neutral position intermediate the buff and pull positions, whereby an operator can readily mount the coupler to the yoke of the draft gear, especially in a side entry pivot pin arrangement where it becomes necessary to rotate the car coupler.
