The motormanscab also contains a fuse box, Westinghouse brake lever, hand-brake lever, air pump to be operated by hand, in order to allowof the current collector being raised, also if there is no pressurein the air tank, and a valve for the air whistle. The air compressor, together with the motor, the air tank and starting automatic switch are, as already stated, located in a separatecompartment. The air compressor sup-plies the air for the whole of the elec-tric apparatus, viz., main switch, rheo-stat, signal whistle, etc., and also forthe Westinghouse brake. be disconnected or connected up.
