The tests with the clasp brake indicated that certain modi-fications of the clasp brake design would result in an increased effect-iveness of the entire mechanism. From this followed a design shownin Fig. 5. 23. Tests were also made of a third clasp brake design with adistinctly different lever arrangement which is shown in Fig. 6. Itwas with this design of clasp brake rigging that the best stops weremade, fulfilling what it was anticipated should be obtained from theapplication of two brake shoes per wheel. 24. Diagrams of the lever arrangement of the various types ofbrake rigging are shown in Fig. 7. Program of Tests. ^ 25. The original program as decided upon carried with it theschedule shown on page 13. 26. This schedule was adhered to wit
