END-PLATING APPARATUS Abstract of the Invention Apparatus for pressing nailing plates or the like into opposite ends of elongate members, such as wooden railroad ties, thereby to end-plate the ties. The apparatus comprises a press having upper and lower platens engageable with the top and bottom faces of a tie adjacent the ends thereof. The lower platens are movable through an upstroke for raising the tie while generally horizontal from a lowered position to an ele- vated position and for pressing the tie against the up- per platens thereby to apply a vertical compressing force to the tie adjacent the ends thereof, and a down- stroke for lowering the tie. Side platens are engage- able with opposite side faces of the tie adjacent the ends thereof when the tie is in its elevated position. The side platens are movable toward and away from one another whereby a horizontal compressing force can be applied to and removed from the opposite side faces of the tie adjacent the ends thereof. A pair of end plat- ens are engageable with nailing plates on opposite ends of the tie for pressing the nailing plates into the ends of the tie when the tie is elevated and while it is be- ing compressed by the upper, lower and side platens.
