Soc Manufacturers of the Most Complete Line of * Track Supplies, very materially weakening the short point rail, so that it has a very slim vertical support. Cut No. 6 shows the latest improvement, which is the WEIR system, manufactured and controlled exclusively by us. This is what we term our Die-Formed Short Point.
