But closer inspection of our freight cars,in regard to the brakes, will remedy a goodmany defects of our air pumps which are brake cylinder by means of a rubber stops the machine at once. The brake, marked B in photograph, isof the ordinary band variety, and grip-tight enough under ordinary conditions topermit the operator to screw off or onnuts, parts, etc., usually machined onscrew chucks. This saves putting in theback gear for this purpose. Under ordinary conditions, when ma-chinery of this class is stopped, it continues to run for some time unless stoppedby using the hand as a brake. With thisdevice the machine is stopped at oncewithout the least effort. It will not benecessary to add that this device is con-.

Neodesha, Kan. siderable of a saver of time, and time ofcourse means money. Alfred Paul, Minn. Air Brake on a Brass Lathe. I enclose under separate cover a photo-graph of something new in the air-brakeline. While this brake does not pertain tocars or locomotives, it will, nevertheless,be of interest to anyone interested in ma-chine tools, etc. The brake referred to is applied to aregular brass-working lathe, the brakevalve being attached to the shifter shifter is worked forward and backto start and back up the machine, the cen-ter position being the stop. When theoperator stops the machine, he turns thebrass valve about one-eighth of a turn,which connects the feed port with the To Purge Main Reservoirs
