Thevarious connections shown in Fig. 349, and the ports inFig. 350 will, however, be made clear, by comparisonwith the diagrammatic views shown in Figures 351 to356. Referring to Fig. 350, it will be noticed that the. FIG. 352 QUICK-SERVICE POSITION ports in the plan view of the slide valve seat are as fol-lows: r leads to the brake cylinder; t, to the top of theemergency piston; p, to exhaust; x, to the supplementaryreservoir; y, to the check valve case and chamber Y; b, tothe safety valve, and c, to the space behind the by-passpiston. The registration of the parts is most readily followed,and understood, by reference to, and comparison with 788 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING the diagrammatic drawings, Figures 351 to 356, in whichthe connections to the triple valve are as follows: a—Brake Pipe. x—Supplementary Reservoir. C—Brake Cylinder. p—Exhaust. b—Safety Valve. R—Auxiliary Reservoir. OPERATION OF THE TYPE L TRIPLE VALVE. CHARGING. Referring to Figures 349 and 351, air from the brakepipe enters the triple valve through the passages a, e,g, and h, to the face of the triple valve piston (which isthen forced to release p
