Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York Air Brake: Supplement to "the Science of Railways" Nothing could be more clear than the cuts and the explanations that accompany them, as they have in the main been prepared under the imme diate eye of the New York Air Brake Company. The student will find illustrated and described the most important parts of the New York Air Brake, viz.: Air Pump, Engineer's Valve, Triple Valves, Governor and Drain Cup or Brake Pipe Strainer; also the various parts of their Standard Air Brake and the details of each complete equip ment. The general plan of the brake, and its application to locomotives and cars, are also graphically shown in drawings prepared for that purpose. For a list of these illustrations the reader is referred to the table of contents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Air Brake of the Science of Railways This new and improved locomotive and tender brake equipment is known as The New York Automatic Control Equipment. It is claimed by the manufacturers to furnish all the advantage ous features Of the combined automatic and straight air brake. The apparatus is the same for all locomotives, and the Auto matic Control Equipment can, therefore, be applied to passenger engines hauling either high-speed trains or ordinary passenger trains, and to locomotives in freight or switching service, or for double pressure control Operation. The locomotive and train brakes can be used together. Or the locomotive brakes separately. As desired, and it makes no differ ence in What part of the train the locomotive is located. The {brakes can be applied as lightly or as heavily as desired, and the brake pressure so obtained will be automatically maintained in the locomotive brake cylinders, in spite of leakage or variation of piston travel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to the Volume Air Brake of the Science of Railways Referring to Fig. L-b, air compressed by the pump passes through pipes D and (j as usual to the main reservoirs and the main-reservoir pipe, mr. The main-reservoir cut-out cock, W, is to cut Off and vent the air from the main-reservoir pipe, when removing any Of the apparatus except the governor. The end to ward the main reservoir is tapped for a pipe connection, G, to the Pump Governor. Before this cock is closed the double-heading cock, X, should be closed, and the brake-valve handle placed in release position. This is to prevent the slide valve of the feed valve, and the rotary valve of the brake valve, being lifted from their seats. Beyond the main-reservoir cut-out cock, the main-reservoir pipe has four branches, one of which runs to the automatic brake valve, one to the feed valve, one to the reducing valve, and one to the dis tributing valve. As a result, the automatic brake valve receives air from the main reservoirs in two ways, one direct and the other through the Feed Valve.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Air-Brake: A Practical Presentation of the Modern Developments of the Air-Brake for Steam and Electric Railroad Trains The development. Of the many accessory appliances with which the rolling stock of our railways is fitted, has been the subject of a great deal of study and investigation. Of the many appliances which have received careful and systematic study, the braking apparatus may be mentioned as one of the most important. The time when the question of braking first received attention dates back further than the time when highways became sufficiently well made and well maintained to permit of vehicles being drawn at a moderate rate of speed. When wheeled vehicles, drawn at speeds of 10 or 15 miles per hour, first made their appearance, it was found necessary to provide means by which they could be easily and quickly stopped in case of an emergency. The first carts and wagons, built for agricultural purposes, were of such construction that the resist ance of the earth and axle were sufficient to bring them to rest in a reasonable length of time on ordinary roads. In cases of steep grades, the motion was retarded by one or both wheels being locked with chains, or by a stone or piece of timber being chained to the axle and dragged along the ground behind the vehicle. It 13 interesting to note that the question of braking has steadily increased in importance as the demand for higher speed has increased. This applies equally well to all classes of vehicles, including railway trains, street and. Interurban cars, automobiles, and wagons. The first forms of braking apparatus adopted have formed the basis of almost all brake appliances which have since been employed for the same class of vehicles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution of the Air-Brake: A Brief but Comprehensive History of the Development of the Modern Railroad Brake, From the Earliest Conception Contained in the Simple Lever, Up to and Including, the Most Approved Forms of the Present Day Upwards of two years ago the author of this book began the publication, in the "Railway Engineering and Mechanics," of a series of articles treating of the history of the railroad brake. Favorable comment from many readers has encouraged him to believe that the subject is of sufficient interest to warrant the preservation of the matter contained in the articles referred to in a more permanent form. It has therefore been revised and corrected; and, together with some additional material, brought together to form the basis of this work. To the author himself, the labor involved in collecting and arranging the data contained in these pages, has proven of great benefit in aiding him to secure a clear and comprehensive knowledge of the art of which he treats; and it is his sincere hope, that, to the reader as well, this record of the past will prove of practical value.
