In two-car service position the opening from thereservoir pipe to the straight air pipe is larger (see port h, ), and this position is, therefore, used with trains of greaterlength, when running at higher speeds, or, in general, when a heavierapplication of the brakes is desired. In response to this movement of the brake-valve handle, airis admitted from the reservoir pipe to the straight air application 194 AIR BRAKES and release pipe and emerg
