The brake rigging is operated by short hand-levers C, Fig. 9, on the ends of transverse shafts A mounted in brackets B near the ends of the wagon the rotation of the shaft A causing short levers D to pull over the lever M by means of the rod E. The outer end of the rod E consists of two slotted prongs E', E<2>, Figs. 1 and 2, which embrace the rod A and a toothed segment G, and are connected by a block L. At the beginning of the movement of the levers D, D', the pin H connecting them moves to the outer ends of the slots J<1> in the U-shaped link J, which then transmits a pull to the rod E. The backward movement of the rod E causes the block L to move clear of the toothed segment G, which is cut away at G' to fit over the shaft A. The segment G then falls a tooth ; if it sticks, the pin H, moving to the end of the curved slot G' in it, moves it downwards, the action being repeated, if required, until the block L engages with the last tooth of the segment G. The movements occur in the reverse order in removing the brakes. A sleeve O and nut P enable adjustments to be made to compensate for wear, and a spring R may be placed on one or both sides of the lever M. The rod E and lever M may be connected, as shown in Fig. 28, by a bolt i in one of a row of holes j. A spring S, Fig. 9, assists the application and removal of the brakes, and tends to keep them off or on, and may be replaced by a spring o, Fig. 25, between a cylinder k pivoted to the underframe and a plunger n connected to an extension of the pin H. In a modification, the lug K and link J, Fig. 1, are replaced by two slotted or open lugs T<1>, Fig. 10, between which the segment G is mounted, or one lug T' may be used in conjunction with one arm D or with two stepped segments G. In another modification, a slotted segment V, Fig. 18, with curved notches as shown, is rotated by the shaft A, and the bolt or roller X in the fork W<1> causes the link W, spring b, and pin-and-slot joint c, d to move the lever a of the brake rigging. The rods A at the opposite ends of the vehicle are coupled by a connecting-rod and two crank levers. A spring may be fitted to the tumbler lever or in other parts of the brake rigging to facilitate the removal or holding-on of the brakes. The forked end of the link E may be formed as shown in Fig. 29.
