How the Air Brake Works.
From the Chicago Journal.


Said railroad man to me to-day: "Ill
bet not one in hundred of the people who
travel on railroad trains understand how
the pressure of air is used to apply the
brakes to train. When the air brake was
first invented the air was turned into the
cylinder under each car when the car was
to be stopped, and the pressure was exerted
TO force the brakes up against the wheels.
But at the present day the brakes are held
against the wheels by springs, and the air
is turned into the cylinders to push the
brakes away from the wheels as long as the
train is in motion. When it is desired to
stop the train the air is let out, and then the
springs apply the brakes and stop the train.
This last method of using air pressure has
great advantages over the old way on the
score of safety.
whenever an accident happens TO a
train one Of the first effects it is apt TO have
is to rupture the air pipes leading from the
engine to the cylinders under the cars; and
that of itself steps the train instantly 1t
is very important for everybody TO under
stand this matter, because a child years
old can stop train in thirty seconds from
any car in the train If he simply under
stands how. You viii see, if you look for
it, that there is a sort of rope projecting
from the toilet room of every car. That
connects with the air pipes Under the train.
If YOU catch hold of it and give il a little
jerk it viii stop the train before it has gone
20 yards
