Ureco Brine Tank Valves Applied to a Beef Car retaining the brine until the cars reached an icing station,or one of the plants of the packers, where the brine could bereleased and fresh brine put in the tanks. After going into this matter thoroughly and making exhaustive tests, the Union Railway Equipment Company,McCormick Building, Chicago, has designed and placed in. service a device which accomplishes the results contemplatedby the M. C. B. rule. This device is known as the Urecobrine tank valve and one of the illustrations shows the ap-plication to cars equipped with square tanks, one valvedraining two tanks. The valve is operated with a lever inthe hatchway and to open the valve requires only the raisingof the lever to a vertical position. This moves the operatingrod downward, opening the gate at the lower side of thevalve, which allows the brine to drain freely through thedownspout, or to the pan and thence out through the the valve is open and the lever in a vertical position,it prevents the application of the hatch-plug until the valveis closed, thereby insuring the closing of the valve before thecar is again in transit. The operating rod is arranged witha square nut in the clevis operating the gate, so that anyvariation in the distance between the top of the partitionbetween the tank? and the tank valve can be taken up and KALEVI
