A quick action portion with high pressure cap, Fig. 32, which controlsthe transmission of serial quick action and obtaining of high emergencypressure in the brake cylinders when an emergency application of thebrakes is made. An electric portion, Fig. 33, v/hich comprises the magnets, switch,etc., controlling the electric service application, electric release andelectric emergency appHcations of the brakes. 51. 52
