In order to simplify the description of thedifferent parts of the equipment, the following names of pipes aregiven which are shown in Fig. 92: Discharge Pipe: Connects the air compressor to the first main reservoir. Connecting Pipe: Connects the two main reservoirs. Main Reservoir Pipe: Connects the second main reservoir to the automatic brake valve, distributing valve, feed valve, reducing valve, and compressor Valve Pipe: Connects the feed valve to the automatic brake Pipe: Connects the feed-valve pipe to the upper connecton of the excess-pressure head of the compressor AIR BRAKES 113 Excess-Prcfisure Operating Pipe: Connects the automatio brake valve to the lower connection of the excess-pressure head of the compressor Volve Pipe: Connects the reducing valve to the independent brake valve, and to the signal system, when Pipe: Connects the automatic brake valve with the distributing valve and all triple valves on the cars in the Pipe: Connects the distributing valve with the driver, tender, and truck-brake Cylinder Pipe: Connects the application cylinder of the distributing valve to the independent and automatic brake Valve Release Pipe: Connects the application-cylinder exhaust port of the distributing valve to the automatic brake valve through the independent brake valve. In some installations the automatic brake valve is p
