Hudson's ingenious remedy to this problem was simple and straightforward(see fig. 10). A heavy equalizing lever that connected the truck to thesprings of the front driving wheels was placed on the longitudinalcenterline of the locomotive, with the fulcrum under the cylindersaddle. Thus the truck and front driver reacted together to all theinequalities and shocks offered by the roadbed.
In October of 1863, under Hudson's direction, two 2-6-0's equipped withBissell trucks were built at the Rogers
... Works for the New JerseyRailroad and Transportation Company. Probably some fault was found withthe suspension of these machines, numbered 35 and 36, for the next2-6-0, numbered 39, built for the New Jersey road was equipped withHudson's equalizer. This engine, completed in January 1865, is believedto be the first Mogul so equipped. [23] The Locomotive Engine Safety Truck Company (see fig. 11) was formed inthe 1870's, with A. F. Smith as president, to exploit the patents ofBissell, Smith, and Hudson.
