The swing bolster truck is one in which the truck bolster may move relatively to the side frame of the truck. The swing bolster truck is better suited to high-speed service than the fixed bolster truck and it is generally used on passenger cars. In the M.C.B. type, the swing bolster bears on springs that are supported by a transverse member called a spring plank, which is suspended by hangers or links so that it can swing laterally to the truck. As the springs res...
