We mention the foregoing so that ourreaders will understand that this type ofbrake was designed and manufactured tomeet a condition on the PennsylvaniaRailroad, and similar condition may ormay not develop on other roads, but inthe majority of cases certain ones arepresent even if not recognized. In last months issue the objects of thereservoirs used was explained and nowthe bracket which is a fixture on the car,contains two chambers, the quick actionchamber and the quick action closingchamber their duties will be explained any part of the universal valve may beremoved without disturbing any pipejoints.
