Pearson's Coupling
Pearson's Coupling was a safety relevant improvement for connecting the hoses of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company between railway carriages.
History
If a train was accidentally divided, the drawing apart of the hose pipes would cause the brakes to be applied on both sections of the severed train.
However, in shunting operations, it was necessary to have an arrangement by which the carriages may be disconnected when required, without the application of the brakes.
Thus, a train- cock was installed at each end of the carriage where the hose- pipes were attached.
If the hose- pipes were disconnected, and the train- cocks left open, the brakes were applied throughout the train.
Therefore, train- cocks had to be provided.
The not infrequent forgetfulness of a shunter to open the train- cocks after coupling- up the hose- pipes has caused accidents in the past.
A further risk in connection with these cocks lied in the fact that they could be tampered with by passengers.
Out of eleven accidents in New Zealand, eight have been the result of somebody's negligence in leaving train- cocks closed.
In Pearson's invention the cocks are necessarily closed and the levers engaged by the lugs, before the heads could be coupled together.
The action of turning the heads upon one another, while the levers were engaged by the lugs caused the cocks to open, because the ports of the plugs registered with the ports in the cocks, leaving the brakes in a condition ready to be applied.
The heads could not be uncoupled in the ordinary way without the operations being reversed and the cocks left open.
If the heads were accidentally pulled apart, as by the severance of a train, the cocks remained open, and the brakes were there by applied.
The Brakes
The Brakes are a rock band formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States in 2002.
The original five members were Zach Djanikian, Matt Kass, Derek Feinberg, Josh Sack, and Adam Flicker.
In 2006, they performed at SXSW Showcase, as well as many festivals such as All Good, High Sierra and Wakarusa.
Their national touring has also enabled them to share the stage with artists such as Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Willie Nelson, John Fogerty, Live, and Widespread Panic.
The band has had multiple EP releases, regular rotation on station WXPN in Philadelphia, and near capacity headliners at TLA.
In 2002, The Brakes set the record for highest ticket sales at The Point in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
In early 2006, The Brakes joined forces with H&R Block and became the face of the company's "TaxCut program" advertising campaign.
The advertisements were featured on major national networks during shows like American Idol and The OC.
The "TaxCut Program"'s print campaign graced the back covers of Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and Us Weekly.
On Father's Day 2006, Djanikian was chosen to sing "God Bless America" during the seventh innings stretch at the Philadelphia Phillies game.
Josh Sack, drummer for The Brakes, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August, 2007 and he died on May 4, 2008, two days before the day of the release of their Hyena Records album, "Tale of Two Cities".
The album is a tribute to Sack's life and a showcase of his talents as a performer.
Sack's successor, Spence Cohen, has been drumming with The Brakes since late April 2008.
