In order to have a graphic record showing everyvariation of pressure and the time of day or night,the pressure recording gauge is sometimes appliedto a locomotive. While it is usually used to recordthe steam pressure, the more recent introduction ofthe recorder for the air brake train-line pressure isliable to institute a greater use for this latterpurpose.
