We understand that during all thattime, while the brake apparatus has ren-dered exceptionally efficient service, nota single case of slid flat wheels has beenreported from the cars of those trains. Early in October, 1804, a system of ex-periments with the high speed brake, incomparison with the ordinary quick ac-tion brake, was made upon a passengertrain of six cars upon the PennsylvaniaRailroad.
