This consolidation ofresources and effort promises more intensified development and better service to the railroads. TRADE PUBLICATIONS. S. W. Dudley Westinghouse Air Brake Company S. W. Dudley, chief engineer of the Westinghouse Air BrakeCompany, Wilmerding, Pa., retired on February 1 to accept aprofessorship of mechanical engineering at Yale University. Mr. Dudley, who is agraduate of Yale Uni-versity, had been asso-ciated with the air brakecompany for 17 spent the summersof the years 1903 and1904 in the plant as aspecial apprentice, re-turning to school to com-plete a post graduatecourse during the otherseasons. In 1905, he es-tablished permanent con-nections with the West-inghouse Air BrakeCompany and assistedin and compiled much ofthe data pertaining tothe tests of the Type Rtriple valve on the Penn-sylvania, and the ETequipment and the Type R passenger triple valve on the New York Central. In 1906he was assigned to the New York office to the installa-tion, operation and maintenance of new air brake equipment thatwas placed in service on electric locomotives and moto
