A Great Richmond Invention.

Messrs. ]. II. Bragg and j. NJ. Meyers,
Of this city have Invented a railway ap-
pliance 10 be used in connection with air
brakes that promises to gain national no
toriety, as when IL is used it will be a
vry great safeguard for person and
property.
Air brakes have been used by all stan
dard railway companies on, both passen-
ger and freight trains for quite a number
OF years, and It now looks strange how
the roads ever managed to do without
them. Yet even the air brakes have
failed to save life and property in num-
berless cases wherein the train breaks
loose"
The invention of these gentlemen,
though simple in itself considered when
used in connection with the present air
brake appliances will obviate this trou-
bic. it being so constructed that when a
train becomes detached while running
the brakes will apply on the detached
portion and not on the front portion,
allowing the latter 10 go ahead out Of
the way and avoiding a collision between
the two portions.
An additional advantage Of the new in
vention is that IL can be set so the brake
will apply on front and not on rear, on
rear and not on front, on both or none.
just as the management may desire and
deems best to overcome the present fire.
ouent troubles.
The cheapness Of the newly-invented
device will also play strong part in its
introduction.
The invention is not yet in the hands Of
any car construction company, but that
il will prove a success from every point
Of view Is not doubted by dozens of prac-
teal railway men and machinlsts who
have examined IT, nor by those who know
the veteran railway conductor Bragg and
the practical machinist Meyers.
