Air Brake for Pittsburgh Railwray. A recent order for air brake equip-ment well illustrates the new develop-ments in this class of apparatus. The-Pittsburgh Railway Company will install20 emergency straight air brake equip-ments for motor cars with CP 21 aircompressors, and 10 emergency straightair brake equipments for trial cars fur-nished by the General Electric Com-.
