The first trouble mentioned will be no- to the brake cylinder through the serviceport of the slide-valve, quick action en-sues if the graduating spring is weak orbroken, as there is nothing to stop thepiston from moving full stroke. This casecan happen only on a short train, as, on along one, the train line volume is so muchgreater that a certain reduction requiresa greater length of time proportionate tothe train length.
