Would anyone happen to know, have specs of, or know of where I may find Pullman engineering drawings of a heavyweight roof cross-section, similar to the Pullman-Bradley diagram below?  I wish to confirm the compound radii  of both the lower roof and the clerestory roof. Thx.

Orientation of the PBLW pic was incorrect, added it back in the correct orientation.

Not sure if this will work for you, but I did find this B&M coach that was built by Pullman.



There's are views of the end construction too if you'd want that.

Jason beat me to it.  What I think is the same drawing is Figure 2.48 in John H White's American Railroad Passenger Car, Vol 1 (which he cites as spec's for insulation).  It also has a similar drawing for a car made about 1900 (Fig 3.64).

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Excellent.  Those definitely will work, as they show the radii.  Thanks gentlemen.

I would, when you get a chance.  Thanks.
