TRUCK have known motor-either a hand or animaginary trouble, ifthey thought there was any possibility of getting a carequipped with air brakes to replace it. Where thelighter cars equipped with hand brakes are operated over thesame line as cars equipped with air, it is absolutely necessarythat the hand brakes be kept in the best possible condition, toallow the motorman to make his stops properly without muchlabor on his part, and still keep out of the way of cars whichare being operated with air brakes. In this we are greatlyassisted by the use of the gear drum or eccentric wind-brakestaff, which not only makes it easier for the motorman, butis quicker and safer than the old method of bolting the chainthrough the bottom of the staff, which was the practice somefew years ago. * Paper presented at the Albany meeting of the New York State StreetRailway Association, Sept. 19, 1906. have discarded one c
