BOGIE

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 118 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOGIE , a northern
English
  dialect word of unknown origin, applied to a
kind
  of low truck or " trolly." In railway
engineering
  it is applied to an under-truck, most frequently with four wheels, which is often provided at one end of a locomotive or both ends of a
carriage
 . It is pivoted or swivelled on the
main
  frames, so that it can turn relatively to the
body
  of the vehicle or
engine
 , and thus it enables the wheels readily to follow the curves of the line. It has no connexion with the
series
  of words, such as " bogey " or " bogy," " bogie," " boggle," " bogart " (in Shakespeare " bug," " bugs and goblins "), which are probably connected with the Welsh bwg, a spectre; hence the verb to " boggle," properly applied to a
horse
  which shies at supposed spectres, and so meaning to hesitate, bungle.
