All features of TYPE 3 except that these are now equipped with the standard full size frog as TYPE 2. Tip of “Y adjusting lever no longer rounded.

— Frog receiver is enlarged but still low & milled smooth. The number 73 cast in bed behind frog receiver is apparently just a foundry’s casting code because #2’s of the same vintage have the number 71 cast here.
*Flat head cap screws now used to hold frog.

* #5 thru #8 have rounded edge on front of raised receiver for handle.
