Editor: We often hear engineers complainingthat the train line exhaust will not stopafter a service application when the handleis placed on lap, and some report this andthe other something else, and have the re-pair man looking for the trouble. The air in passing through the brakevalve, both going into and coming out ofthe train pipe, is inclined to leave a de-posit of grease, gum and dirt on the wallsof equalizing piston chamber, which, intime, gets so bad that it greatly retardsthe movements of the equalizing piston. With this piston moving freely in aservice application as soon as the train linepressure is slightly lower than the equal-izing pressure it forces the piston downand seats the pin valve, thus closing thetrain pipe exhaust. But when the move-. T,oBomotive EtigiieermgRECENTLY P.\TENTED TRIPLE ^LVE. brake inspectors on the Delaware & Hud-son, where Mr. Blackall has served forseveral years.
