Adapted to the maximum speed of interurban trolley roads. Maintains automatically maximum air pressure for every stop, and the compressor operates only as needs require, and at other times remains at average horse power per car mile will not exceed one-eighth of one horse application of the brake and no waste of air; a quicker release of the brake than in any other six inches of axle space between motor and hub of wheel stuffing boxes used, hence no chance for piping reduced to the minimum. Few parts and so constructed that cost of maintenance will be nominal. ■PIONEERS *
