RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. 411 undesired quick action of the brake. Many an engineer has come to griefthrough a disregard of the proper useof this position; that is, has allowed thehandle to remain in lap position when itshould have been in running or serviceposition. If more than one locomotive is at- brake, straight air brake valve and con-trol valve must be absolutely tight. When trying the brake valves, knowthat the brake can be released with thestraight air brake valve when thtnatic brake valve has been used to applythem and is returned to lap position. The code of tests will be furnished withice which we hope to again referto in a future issue. Excess Pressure Governor of the most valuable, and certainly This will insure a release of the engine one of the least appreciated features of -GAGE. B-6 FEED VALVETO BE SET FOR A PRESSURE OF20 LBS.
