Summary:
This Leaflet defines the draw gear
systems to be used for wagons, coaches and vans, viz. the standard unified screw
coupling, the coupling hook and the elastic draw systems. The use of the standardised
screw coupler is compulsory for new stock with effect from 1 July 2003. It is
recommended, however, that no further supplies of standard draw hooks or their
component parts should be ordered.
