The amount of slack in along passenger train is sufficient to re-quire consideration, and can under certainconditions, produce some very undesirableeffects.

While this is mere-ly an illustration, the cut of the R-2-Ctriple valve shows an actual electricallycontrolled valve which has been in elec-tric road service for some years. While we believe in doing it first andtelling about it afterward, we are surethat the readers of the Air Brake De-partment will pardon us for announcingthat for the remainder of this year thedepartment will contain the most instruc-tive matter on modern brake equipmentsand brake design that has ever appearedin this or any other technical say this advisedly, for there is no pasttime in the history of the air brake artwhen this information could be obtained.
