Most of the drawings of the various cars have shown what the rigging was. Since most of the small railroads didin't have air braking systems, the rigging was only for getting the handwheel to actuate the brake shoes on the trucks. The larger operations where air brakes existed generally used the same system that the major railroads used, usually the K brake system.
