Unquestionably the greatest of airbrake experts and regarded by the AirBrake Association as the only perfectinstructor, they have not been alone in in consideration of over one hundredof Ins patents assigned to the West-inghouse company and as many morepending, he was awarded the Elliott-Cresson medal, which is the highesthonor this body can confer upon anyscientist. The writer regards it as an honor tobe fairly well acquainted with and his methods. He possesses a marvelous combina-tion of inventive genius, literary abil-. liis invention and development of theE. T. locomotive brake, type K and Ltriple valves, the P. C. equipment forpassenger cars, the empty and loadbrake for freight cars and the electro-pneumatic brake for electric and steamroad service. Briefly, the testimonial is in recog-nition and appreciation of the time hehas chosen to spend with the membersduring conventions and of his solu-tions of the many intricate problemsthat have from time to time confronted recognizing in him a genius and ascientist, and foremost among themany other societies that have con-ferred honors upon him is the FranklinInstitute of Philadelphia, one of themost scientific bodies of men inAmerica. As the outcome of a paper preparedand read by him before this institute,he was awarded the Edward Longstreetmedal, and recently, in recognition ofhis development of air brakes for loco-motives, cars and electric service an
