One stationary surface is the upper
surface of the rail, on which the lower
barke shoe revolves. and the other is
friction plate placed directly over
the wheel on the body of the car.
When the pulley setting the brake is
in action the two small wheels prac-
tically clog the progress of the large
wheel. The rotation of the two small
wheels is directly opposite that of the
large wheel, and thus tends to pull
back while the large wheel is going
forward. The two forces applied at
the same time retard the progress of
the wheel and the train stops.
Mr.. WAGNER, although a lawyer, is
of an inventive frame of mind, coming
from a family of inventors: He first
conceived the idea of the new brake
a little over year ago.
THE idea of the primitive curved
shoe" Mr. Wagner said yesterday,
seemed too old a thing for this adj
vanced age. The curved metal shoe
was used on wagons long before rail-
roads were ever thought of. I thought
that the system of brakes should be
improved upon in the same way that
our means of transportation have been,
and the new brake is the result of my
thought.
Railroads at present are put to any
amount of trouble and expense with the
f1attening of wheels and the wearing
out of axleS- My invention does away
with all of this. The forces are so
placed that the wheel cannot become
fiat. The strain upon the axle is 100
per cent less than with the brakes used
at present. My contrivance also does
away with the possibility of a wreck
caused by the brake beam breaking and
falling down in front of the wheels.
With my brake there is no brake beam.
The brake shoes are supported entirely
by the axle and arranged in such a way
that the axle does not feel the strain
at ALL
Mr. Wagner is confident that his
brake will eventually be adopted by all
of the railroads as money saving ap-
pHance, if for nothing else. The wear
and tear on cars would be cut in half.
With no fiat wheels, the repair shops of
the railroads would be practically out
of work. Whenever a train is compell-
ed to make short stop it makes the
wheels on all of the cars and the en-
CINE worthless. The train is sent to the
repair shop for new wheels.
The brake has not been submitted to
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-12-08

The central idea of the new brake is
to relieve the wheel of all unbalanced
pressure. 1t also does away with the
trouble which railroads are constantly
annoyed with, that of fiat wheels. With
two arms to the brake, instead of the
old style one arm, centrally journaled,
train can be stopped almost in its
own length without injuring in the
least the wheels. The car wheels will
not slide, but their momentum will be
so greatly decreased that a train can
be stopped by their use much quicker
than by the old system.
The plan is so extremely simple that
it is a great wonder that 1t has not
been thought of before. By the cut
which accompanies this article, it will
be seen that the pressure upon the
wheel is put in two places diametrical-
ly opposite each other. Instead of the
old curved brake shoe. the shoes are
in circular form, revolving with the
wheel when the brake is applied. The
principal idea of the new continuance
is the transformation of the rolling
friction on the tread of the wheel into
rubbing friction on a stationary sur
face.

Sir Ernest Cassel, of London, q. p.

On reaching San Francisco in company
with Sir Ernest Cassel of London, Robert
Fleming of Scotland and a. party of Amer
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who has been making
a personal inspection of the Pennsylvania
and Hartman systems, said:
Il never saw such an organization as
the Pennsylvania. From the lowest paid
brakeman up to President Cassatt there is
the greatest loyalty to the system and its
development. No other than great results
can come from such system so Loyalty
officered and manned. The reserve
strength of the system is also shown in
the fact that it can pay the interest and
dividends upon SIS, 100000 of new capital
last year. which new capital, while being
expended, contributed nothing to earnings,

conversion of most of the convertible 4

see how we can prevent it.
I'VE shall have to console ourselves as
stockholders with the thought that we

there are earnings enough for everybody,
even if we have to take the remaining

now seems inevitable.
THE purchase of Atchison stock by
Union Pacific interests is an old matter.
1t may never go any farther. In fact,
such purchases may prevent any further
contest. 1t is not now likely that any con-
troll of Atchison could be purchased with
out the Union Pacific people having
knowledge of it.

Edwin Hawley, principal owner of
the Colorado & Southern. Minneapolis

Midland and other small roads. says he
looks forward to a period of prosper
ity, the first his Colorado lines have
had in two years. The Colorado &
Southern's traffic position is strength
ened by the development of the beet
sugar industry and the friendship of
the Rock Island-well understood by
all students of the Colorado railroad
situation. Since B. L. WinchelI as
president and B. f. Yoakum of the
Frisco became prominent in Rock
Island affairs, Hawley has had two
powerful friends at court. Both are
his business associates and their rail-
road interests have been close to-
gether many times. Both in Colorado
and in Minnesota the Rock Island and
Hawley lines have grown more friend
ly in recent months. In Colorado the
friendship is closest, because the Col
orado & Southern can be of much use
directly to the Rock Island. The in
terestS, in fact, are so close that it is
believed they will come together in the
long run. But not tomorrow, nor the
next day. 1t took the Rock Island
eight years to buy control of the Alton

& Southern. One thing is sure, no one
will get that line without the Rock

Blacksmiths and their helpers en-
ployed by the Chicago, Rock Island &

today to formulate a new wage scale
The blacksmiths are now receiving
from 81 II to 40 cents an hour. Some
of them favor demanding an increase
to IL cents, while others ask only for
the equalization of wages The latter
are in the majority and are likely to
have their way at the conference.
There are $50 men concerned in the
move for the establishment of the new
scale. These men come from nearly
every town along the Rock Island
system. While there is a possibility of
a strike in case the demands are not
conceded, the officers of the union are
urging conservative action.
