Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Westinghouse Air-Brake Handbook, Vol. 1: A Convenient Reference Book for All the Construction, Installation, Operation, Care, Maintenance, or Repair of the Westinghouse Air-Brake Systems, or in the Control of Trains by Means of the Air Brake Since the introduction of the quick-action brake, a growing yearly increase in passenger traffic has brought with it a growing increase in the length and weight of passenger trains, in the train speed, and in the frequency of service. Each increase reduced the comparative efficiency of the existing brake system and necessitated improvements. In freight service, the increase in the capacity of the cars, the tonnage, and the length of trains augmented the difficulty of brake control to such an extent that new brake apparatus for both engines and cars had to be devised in order that the brake could safely and efficiently control the train. These improvements have been so rapid and have resulted in such a multiplicity of airbrake systems and air-brake apparatus, and the apparatus is made in so many sizes, that today it is a difficult matter to distinguish the different pieces of apparatus and to tell accurately without special information on the subject, to what particular system a piece of apparatus belongs. The purpose of this handbook is to supply this special information and to present in convenient form complete reliable data relative to the different Westinghouse Air-Brake Systems.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Air Brake Instruction Book of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company The present edition of our Instruction Book is in the nature of a revision of our previous publications. It has been our aim to condense and simplify the descriptive matter as much as possible, and at the same time to present a complete description of the parts and their operation in the air-brake and air-signal equipment. In it will be found illustrations and explanations of the new devices, as well as of any modifications of older appliances which have been made with the idea of furnishing the best possible air brake and air-signal equipment. We have distributed many thousand copies of previous editions of our Instruction Book among railway officers and employees in this and other countries, the net result of which has been the education of railroad men in the subject of air brakes, to such an extent that we are led to believe that much of the matter heretofore published can be consistently omitted, especially as there are now many other publications which deal with brake subjects at greater length and provide a source of information in de tail, which may be referred to, if desired. For this reason, the present edition of our Instruction Book has been some what abridged and presents a terse description of the func tions and methods of operation of the devices supplied by this company for the equipment of railroads with its air brake and air-signal apparatus.

Excerpt: ...brakes their highest efficiency, without the flat wheels which are likely to accompany a wide range of piston travel. This device establishes the running piston travel; that is, the piston travel occurring when the brakes are applied while the car is in motion; and, since this is the time during which the brakes perform their work, the running travel is the important one. Hand adjustment necessarily relies upon the standing travel, and it is only coarsely graded, at best, by the spacing of the holes in the dead-lever guide. The Automatic Slack Adjuster is illustrated on Plates 21 and 22, and its operation is very simple. The brakecylinder piston acts as a valve to control the admission and release of brake-cylinder pressure to and from pipe b (Plate 21) through port a in the cylinder, this port being so located that the piston uncovers it when the predetermined piston travel is exceeded. Whenever the piston so uncovers port a, brake-cylinder air flows through pipe b into slack-adjuster cylinder 2, where the small piston 19 (Plate 22) is forced outward, compressing spring 21. Attached to piston stem 23 is a pawl, extending into casing 24, which engages ratchet wheel 27, mounted within casing 24 upon screw 4 (Plate 21). When the brake is released and the brakecylinder piston returns to its normal position, the air pressure in cylinder 2 escapes to the atmosphere through pipe b, port a and the non-pressure head of the brake cylinder, thus permitting spring 21 to force the small piston to its normal position. In so doing, the pawl turns the ratchet wheel upon screw 4, and thereby draws lever 5 slightly in the direction of the slack-adjuster cylinder, thus shortening the brake-cylinder piston travel and forcing the brake shoes nearer the...
