Fig. I is the old standard valve foruse on freight cars and on passengercars, having 6, 8 or lo-inch cylinders. 176 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING April, 1903. Fig. 2 illustrates a valve which haslarger ports and a one-half-inch pipe, Arrauffeittent withseparate Reservoir Altogether there are five different re-taining valves manufactured by the W. A. with J^illar Keservoirsupportinff the Ialve. portion of the triple performing thisfunction. The bleeder, instead of beingin the bottom of the auxiliary, as in.^merica, is located neatly and out ofliarms way in the end portion of thereservoir. Fig. S is a sectional view of the en-gineers brake valve, with the rotary valveportion and the equalizing piston partdesigned side by side, instead of theformer above the latter, as is the prac-tice here. All of the parts carry the English neat-ness of design with them. However,from our viewpoint, there are some oldideas which might be dropped and newones taken up. For example: the three-way cock in the quick-action triple wasabandoned in America fifteen years ago;and our English friends do not seem tohave yet caught up with the slide-valvefeed valve attachment for brake valves. and is for use on 12, 14 and 16-inch carcylinders. Fig. 3 is the same valve shown in , modified only in respect to the exten-sion handle and socket piece, as aboveexplained. Fig. 4 is the same valve illustrated
