The Vacuum Brah 9.

Ira GENERAL ADOPTION ny THE P. W. Il u. co.
PRoBABLE-wHAT THE RRARE IS AND now
WORKED.
The vacuum brake, which has been applied to
ono train on the p. W. X D. H. r., as an expert
Inent, has worked we'll, and, thus far, gives
perfect satisfaction 30 much 80 that its use Is.
likely to become general. Tho through New
York and Washington express trains, we under
stand, which have never been supplied with any
but the customary hand brake, will also DO pro-
vided with the evacuum. and oil possibility OF any
such disasters that which befel a train at
midnight last November, will be almost entire-
ly removed. Fl
The Vacuum brake is very simple in its con.
triVance, but powerful in its application. II has
proven a success, wherever tried, and the only
reason which can be assigned for it is, because
the governing principle ID the correct one. The
pressure is applied externally and gradually, and
is applied TO the rear car first. This avoids
the breaking OF couplings and hose and the
Jerking, unpleasant motion of the cars that ac-
companies the usual method of applying the
brakes is done away with. Another advantage
is that when the vacuum is produced II draws
,he hose couplings and joints together while
other brakes, operated by inward pressure, strain
and open the couplings and joints
The apparatus is simply an air elector, placed
in the cab of the locomotive which Is connected
by pipes and hose to flexible air chamber, Sim
liar In construction to an! ACCORDION and this
is connected to the brake rod underneath each
car This engineer, by opening a steam valve,
produces q vacuum in the ejector by
larting currents of steam across each
other, causing the expulsion OF air from the
flexible air-chamber, contracting it. which move
ment shortens tho brake rod and applies the
brake. The moment the engineer opens the
air-Yalve the pressure Ia instantanepusiy re-
moved, which is another advantage over the
compressed air-brake. The ejoctor il a simple
and durable instrument. without valves, pistons,
packing, or springs, requires no attention or Rd-
Justment, and is OF ready application.
