There is also a safety device thatis for the purpose of safeguarding thebalance of the system in case anythingshould happen to the locomotive sustain-ing valve, or even with the brake valvecut out, the brakes can be applied wdienthis safety feature is in u=c. .At the present time it i^ only desiredto deal with the locomotixe sustainingvalve. It has three pifie connections, tothe brake pipe, the main reservoir and tothe equalizing reservoir. It is similar inoperation to the slide valve feed valve,the only difference being that its adjust-ment is regulated by the pressure in thebrake valve equalizing reservoir insteadof spring pressure.
