Chamber gat the left of application piston 10 is a portion of theapplication chamber, being always connected with it bypassage h, and is also connected to the brake valvesthrough the application-chamber pipe. Independent Application. When the handle of theIndependent Brake Valve is moved to the applicationposition, air from the main reservoir, limited by the re-ducing valve to a maximum of 45 pounds, is allowed toflow to the application chamber, forcing application pis-ton 10 to the right as shown in Fig. 300. We will assumethat 45 pounds is so admitted and maintained. This 678 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. zo m O z I oI> oam 3D 2 APPLI-CATION CHAMBER % v PRESSURECHAMBER 1 // m FIG. 299.
