It clears the railby a short distance when the coil is not energized. The twotrack brakes, located opposite each other, are cross-connectedby a light steel frame so that the distance between them is rigidlymaintained, and the desired stiffness is secured. Each side ofthe track brake is attached by means of an adjustable link, tothe end of a lever through which the braking force is trans-
