Got out to the Scheller car today.

The battery boxes are as follows:

28″ long;
20″ wide;
18″ tall;

They have 3 steel straps on them…each is 12″ long from the top of the box…extending 4″ below the box…and are bolted together with the bottom strap that goes across the bottom of the box.

These straps are steel that is 2″ wide; and they are placed as follows:

1st: at the very end of the box; (looking under the car) (might be a couple of inches from the end)…
2nd: 6.5″ inset from the end strap.
3rd: 6.5″ inset from the second strap.

These are the boxes put under Sedalia, KO&G, and T&P steel cabooses put through Sedalia in the 1970’s…and the car I measured today was last shopped in 4-84.
