When the brakes are appliedcompressed air is admitted into the air cylinder undereach car, the piston is moved forward by the pressui-e, themotion is communicated through the rods, levers, etc.,forming the brake connections, until the brake shoes areapplied to the wheels. The air pressure used is about 7Ulbs. to the square inch. It is manifest that this power, sub-divided and applied through eight or more brake shoes,would not be sufHcient to stop a train under headway; thepower is increased by means of levers in the usual me-chanical manner with the usual result that the movementat the outer ends of the rods and levers, i. e., at the brakeshoes, is very much less than it is at the point the power is
