Conductor Tremaine's new and i'm
proved brake is being attached to train
of coaches now being constructed at the
car shops of The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway. The invention, fit proves
q success, will be a bonanza to Mr.. Ire
maine. The brake beam is solid stick
of timber to which is attached the friction
shoes When the train is stopped while
going at high rate of speed, the beam is
pressed with such unyielding frmness
against the wheels that they slide on the
rail and make fat surface; or, in railway
parlance, cause a fiat wheel, which if not
removed at once, causes much damage to
cars and rails. This is especially true in
winter when the rails are frosty, the fiat
tened wheel strikes with tremendous
power with each revolution, thereby en-
dangering life and property. Mr. Ire
names patent is intended to prevent the
fattening of wheels, by substituting a
heavy elliptic spring instead of the solid
brake beam above mentioned. The effect
will be to stop the sliding of the wheel by
q reciprocal oscillation of the spring az
the momentum of the moving train is
being overcome. The st Paul Company
will give it an immediate trial, and, if it
does the business required, will be clear
saving of $780, 900 in five years. Mr..
