TELLS STORY OF
THE AIR BRAKE
GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE SHOWS
HOW ACCIDENTS AND CHANCE
GAVE HIM THE IDEA FOR
THE INVENTION.

New York, Dec. 16.--George West
inghouse, inventor OF the airbrake.
told the members Of the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers how he
came to discover it. 1t was his fare
well address as president of the socie-
ty. Mr.. Westinghouse also appealed 10
the engineers of the country TO work
toward uniformity in the electrihcation
of railways.
Mr. Westinghouse said the idea OF
the air brake resulted from an acci-
dent and second from the chance that
led two young woman TO canvass his
subscription to an engineering maya
zine, in which the use of compressed
air in the driving of Mt. Cents tunnel
was described.
An inventor named Amber had de-
vised a chain brake which was worked
by a windlass in the engine. To Mr..
Westinghouse came the idea of ex-
changing the windlass for the cylin-
der under the locomotive, the piston
Of which should be of extraordinary
length and connected with Mr.. Am
blers chain so that the drawing in
Of the piston by the application Of
steam from the locomotive would give
a more accurate control of the brakes
than was possible with the windlass
device.
But experiments showed quickly
that the piston could not be made long
enough TO work the chain on more
than four or five cars. and Mr.. West
inghouse overcame this difficulty by
putting a cylinder under each car with
a flexible pipe connecting each one of
the locomotive for it's supply of steam.
This effort failed because, even i'm
warm weather, IL was found impossi-

the new brake was shown instantly
by the short distance in which the
train was halted.
