Withthe usual system of hand brakes the motorman exerts him-self to set the brakes, and it is his force alone, magnifiedby means of levers, that is useful in this regard. Theideal brake is that which turns the energy againstitself. The brake shown in the accompanying cut isdesigned on this principle. The revolving wheels of thecar are utilized to set the brakes. The bell crank leversapply the shoe to the wheel, and tend to force it surface of the wheel revolving upward also causes
