In application, this device is attached to the hose coup-ling at the rear of the tender and is hung up. Steamis then tiirned into the reducing valve and the pet cockoi>ened until the water of condensation has all blown pet cock is then closed and the test gauge on thedevice used to check the pressure registered on the steamheating gauge in the cab and the reduction of pressureby the reducing valve. At the end of the test the steamis shut off on the engine, the pet cock opened to blow outthe steam contained in the piping and the device dis-connected. Fig. 2 is a device for testing air brake cylinders. Itconsists of a fitting D with a nipple E on one side, thatcan be screwed into the side of the cylinder. A smalltest gauge is screwed into the top of the fitting, and onthe side
