Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . FIG. 307. GRADUATING VALVE, EQUALIZING SLIDEVALVE, AND SLIDE VALVE SEAT ET BRAKE EQUIPMENT 693 exception of the release, which is brought about by theequalizing piston 26 moving to the release position andcausing exhaust cavity in the equalizing slide valve 31. FIG. 308. DISTRIBUTING VALVE CONNECTIONS:MR—Main Reservoir Pipe; DH—Double-Heading- Pipe; AC—Ap-plication-Chamber Pipe; BC—Brake-Cylinder Pipe; BP—Brake Pipe to connect ports i and h in the slide valve seat, therebypermitting the pressure in the application chamber toescape to the atmosphere through the double heading 694 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING pipe, the double cut-out cock, and the automatic brakevalve. In double heading, therefore, the release of thedistributing valve is similar to that of a triple valve. To remove piston 10 and slide valve 16, it is abso-lutely necessary to first remove cover 3, slide valve 5 andvalve pin 18. Referring to Figs 298 and 308, the proper namesof parts of this apparatus are as follows: 2, Body; 3,Application-Valve Cover; 4, Cover Screw; 5, Applica-tion Valve; 6, Application-Valve Spring; 7, Application-Cylinder Cover; 8, Cylinder-Cover Bolt and Nut; 9,Cylinder-Cover Gasket; 10, Application Piston; 11, Pis-ton Follower; 12, Packing-Leather Expa
