Causes of Brakeshoe Wear IN A COMPANY publication * a question was recentlyasked regarding brakeshoe wear. This question was: Will brakeshoes wear away faster when operated with ahigh braking pressure whicli requires but half the distanceto make a stop or mth half this pressure and twice thebraking distance ? As an example, suppose a pressure will stop a car in 1000 ft., will the shoeswear faster with this operation, or when an 800-lb. brake-shoe pressure is used to make a stop in 500 ft. ? In answerto this question, M. F. Skouden, superintendent of motivepower Union Traction Company of Indiana, stated thatth
