Stand-Pipe No. 080, HENDERSON, of Three Rivers, Mich., assignor to the Sheffield Car Co. This invention relates to improvementsin flexible joints for stand-pipes, and par-ticularly to stand-pipes for the straight rubber tube or cylindri-cal connection in the pipe the raising orlowering of the horizontal portion of thepipe tends to cut off the flow of the waterand reduce the capaity of the pipe, andalso ilie pipe is not easily moved to posi-. tion. It is necessary also to provide apivotal support for the metallic portionsof the pipe, and therefore necessary andvery desirable that the connections sufficiently lO permit the pipe toswing up and down. It is the object ot my invention to pro-vide a structure which accomplishes theseresults permitting the easy and free move-ment of the pipe without restricting thepassage and at the same time provide astructure which is durable. Cut-Out Cock for EngineersBrake-Valves No. 078, D. VAN ATTA, of Millersburg, Ohio. In what is called double heading—that is, where two locomotives are coupledto draw a train—the engineer of the for-ward engine does the braking and theengineers brake valve of the rear engineis cut out.
