New Air Cylinder for 9. Inch Pump. The type of air cylinder as shown mthe accompanying cut permits a moreready dissipation of heat, owing to the. Sixth ,nual Report of the Air=BrakeAssociation. Probably one of the most instructiveand interesting books on air brakes yetgotten out by the Air-Brake Associationis its report of the Detroit convention,which will be on sale about June most valuable features of the bookare the reports and discussions of thepapers on Steam Heating, HandlingLong Freight Trains. Increasing theEfficiency of Air Pumps, History andRecord of the High-Speed Brake Up toDate, and The Pressure Recorder asApplied to AW Brakes. In addition, themaster car builders code of triple valvetests and the air-brake mens progressiveform of questions and answers have beenplaced in the addenda at the back of thebook. This is a book that goes out highlyrecommended, and should be in every air-brake mans library.
