(t-lVV locomotive brakeequipments, which are so installed that one or Ixith loco-motives may be used in the tests. Two new 8>4 in. 150cubic feet cross compound air compressors were installednear the locomotive rack and were so pi])ed that eitheror both compressors could he used. The old car rack was of sufficient size to accommodate10!) ty])e K brake equipments but was not large enoughfor the new brake e(|ui])ments which are to be tested. Itwas necessary to add four new sections to the car rackand equipments were arranged so that there would be fivebrake equii)ments in each section. During this re-arrange-ment of cquipmenis, all piping was taken down off therack, hammer tested, blown out, rejilaced on the rack andblown out again. .M
