INDEPENDENT APPLICATION 680 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING movement of application piston 10 causes exhaust valve16 to close exhaust ports e and d, and the graduatingstem 19 to compress its spring; also open applicationvalve 5 by its connection with the piston stem by pin reservoir air then flows through port b and passagec to the brake cylinders until their pressure and that inchamber b equals the application-chamber pressure, inthis case 45 pounds. The graduating spring then forcesthe application piston 10 to the left until application valve5 closes port b} but without moving exhaust valve position shown in Fig. 301 is known as Independ-ent Lap. From the above description it will be seen that ap-plication piston 10 has application chamber pressure onone side and brake-cylinder pressure on the other. Wheneither pressure varies, the piston will move toward thelower. Consequently if that in chamber b is reduced, bybrake-cylinder leakage, the pressure maint
