Excerpt from International Library of Technology: A Series of Textbooks for Persons Engaged in the Engineer'ng Professions and Trades or for Those Who Desire Information Concerning Them; Fully Illustrated and Containing Numerous Practical Examples and Their Solutions This volume is devoted to the Westinghouse air-brake and air-signal systems. It treats of the automatic brake system with all its improvements. The combined straight-air and automatic brake for engines and tenders, the schedule 0, or high-pressure, control apparatus for the control of heavy freight trains on grades, the high-speed brake and the air signal system. Great pains have been taken to treat the subject from the standpoint of the men who handle the brakes, and everything that will affect the operation of the air or air-signal systems has been carefully considered. The defects and their remedies are treated in such a manner as to cover every case likely to arise. This work should prove invaluable to all persons interested either directly or indirectly in the operation, care, or maintenance of the Westinghouse air-brake system. The method of numbering the pages, cuts, articles, etc. Is such that each subject or part, when the subject is divided into two or more parts, is complete in itself; hence, in order to make the index intelligible, it was necessary to give each subject or part a number. This number is placed at the top of each page, on the headline, opposite the page number; and to distinguish it from the page number it is preceded by the printer's section mark Consequently, a reference such as 16, page 26, will be readily found by looking along the inside edges of the headlines until 16 is found, and then through 16 until page 26 is found.
