This head isadapted for use on any of the narrower tread of wheels, viz.,those less than 3 ins. wide. The brake shoe can be used either flanged or unflanged, the unflanged shoe being reversible uponthe same wheel, and the flange shoe will be reversible by chang-ing it to the other end of the brake beam, thus requiring but onepattern of brake shoe for all equipment which will be standard-ized with this brake head.
