At the same time, if it be madestififer, less braking power will be had inservice applications, as the valve x will closeearlier and shut out pressure sent frompipe A into pipe B. It would be impos-sible to successfully operate this systemon a 50-car train on account of it havingno quick action feature. See DoctorStandard elsewdiere in this department.—Ed.] The equalizing feature of the brake-valve is here done away with, and we goback to a direct reduction.
