A VALUABLE INVENTION.
Maine Central Employe Devises I'm
provement on Air Brakes.

David Staples, an employe of the
Maine Central shops here, has invented
a new air brake valve that promises to
be of great value in railroading. The
details of securing q patent are now be-
ing Strengthened out and it will soon be
possible to commence the manufacture
of the new article. With the present
system of brakes there has always been
serious trouble caused by the breaking
apart of trains, thus setting the brakes
securely on one section and allowing
the other to crash into it if there is
opportunity. The majority of freight
wrecks since the air brake has come
into use has been caused in this man.
ner
The invention of Mr.. Staples is in
tended to prevent this and will gradual
ly set the brakes on the front section
of the train after break and suddenly
on the rear section, thus giving notice
to the engineer of trouble. and prevent
ing the two parts from coming together
with violence. The valve has been
thoroughly tested and has worked all
right. If it does all that it is believed
it will great deal of damage and delay
to moving trains can be prevented. 1t
is understood that the Westinghouse
Company has made Mr.. Staples very
hatterng offer for his invention.
