Thus three measures of air are compressed with two measures of steam. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Air Brake Catechism: And Instruction Book on the Construction and Operation of the Westinghouse Air Brake and the New York Air Brake, With a List of Examination Questions for Enginemen and Trainmen At the present day so much depends on the proper handling of the Automatic Brake that a definite knowledge is required from all men in train service of its operation when in good order, and how to locate defects or break downs, as well as how to avoid the difficulties arising from them. This applies to the veteran as well as to the beginner. The changes in the mechanism, caused by the new and improved devices brought into service to take care of longer freight trains and faster passenger trains, as well as the devices for independent operation of the locomotive brake, call for study on the part of the men who have handled the brake for years, for a passenger train of moderate length equipped with ordinary 'triple valves and a long train with all high speed brakes are two widely different propositions, and the veteran looks for information on them As for the beginner, he can not learn it all from experience, as no one is allowed to handle important trains until he has shown, either by an examination or by handling a moving train under the supervision of some man who can judge, that he has the necessary knowledge to properly operate the brake under all ordinary conditions.
