Abstract
The drag pattern for a standard AAR coupler is modified to increase the thickness of the bottom wall of a coupler casting forwardly and rearwardly of a plane containing the horn line. The increased thickness is achieved by forming a substantially planar bottom wall surface for a distance of at least two inches at either side of a plane containing the horn line. Head and shank pattern parts are interchangeable and releasably secured onto a pattern plate for molding foundry sand in the drag portion of a foundry mold to produce E, E/F and F-types of coupler castings.
