Excerpt from Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Vol. 31: A Practical Journal of Motive Power, Rolling Stock and Appliances; May, 1918

As to the operating of these cars as dump cars, this is done by the manipula tion of the levers, pawls and ratchets in place at each corner of the car. They are attached to the locking shaft, which shaft is turned by the lever in a rolling motion, outward to close, and inward to open, the doors always resting on this locking shaft. In this case the levers are outside the end sills, but it is often de sirable to put them inside the end sills, and sometimes under the fixed floor near the end sills, in which case lever sockets are provided. With the general service car it is possible for one man to dump the contents in from five to ten minutes.
