It lias long been my opinion thatbrakes should be tested by an emergencyapplication as well as by service. Rail-road managers were induced to equiptheir trains with continuous powerbrakes so that when an emergency arosethey could be stopped quicker than bythe use of hand brakes, and thereby re-duce the number of accidents and make that when the road engine is attached atthe terminal station the only thing nec-essary is to prove that there is opencommunication from the engine to therear car.
