Thus the graduatingport {d) in the slide valve is carried past the cyl-inder port (a) and registers with port e, allowingauxiliary reservoir pressure to pass to the top ofthe emergency valve piston (^15), which shovesdown the emergency valve (10) and allows thetrain line pressure beneath to flow through tothe brake cylinder.* At the instant port d comesopposite port e, the small port h in the slide valveis in registe
