Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Westinghouse E-T Air Brake Instruction Pocket Book: A Complete Work Explaining in Detail the Improved Westinghouse Locomotive Air Brake Equipment, Including Both the No; 5 and the Latest, Perfected No; 6 Style; Contains Examination Questions and Answers, Covering What the E-T Equipment Is; How It Should Be Previous to the issuance of this volume there has been a general similarity in all air-brake instruction books, and the E-T Air-Brake Pocket-Book is the first departure to a wholly original field of air-brake instruction. Since its inception, and until quite recently, there has been practically but one style of air brake for all classes and branches of railroad service, both passenger and freight, and its application to the locomotive has been heretofore the simplest modification of the plain, automatic principle. With the great increase in weight and motive power of the locomotives in general service at the present day, the importance of their braking power has increased enormously, and it is common to hear a locomotive engineer declare that he would rather have one-half of the car brakes of a long freight train out of operation than to have to cut his locomotive brake out of action. The different classes of train service now require different methods of brake operation. The running time of passenger trains has been increased, also, at such a rate that the comparatively modern evolution of the quick-action brake for High Speed Service has been short-lived, and the demand heeded for a further increase in the stopping power of the brakes of the cars and the locomotives in general passenger service.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Air Brake Instruction Book of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company The present edition of our Instruction Book is in the nature of a revision of our previous publications. It has been our aim to condense and simplify the descriptive matter as much as possible, and at the same time to present a complete description of the parts and their operation in the air-brake and air-signal equipment. In it will be found illustrations and explanations of the new devices, as well as of any modifications of older appliances which have been made with the idea of furnishing the best possible air brake and air-signal equipment. We have distributed many thousand copies of previous editions of our Instruction Book among railway officers and employees in this and other countries, the net result of which has been the education of railroad men in the subject of air brakes, to such an extent that we are led to believe that much of the matter heretofore published can be consistently omitted, especially as there are now many other publications which deal with brake subjects at greater length and provide a source of information in de tail, which may be referred to, if desired. For this reason, the present edition of our Instruction Book has been some what abridged and presents a terse description of the func tions and methods of operation of the devices supplied by this company for the equipment of railroads with its air brake and air-signal apparatus.

Excerpt: ...brakes their highest efficiency, without the flat wheels which are likely to accompany a wide range of piston travel. This device establishes the running piston travel; that is, the piston travel occurring when the brakes are applied while the car is in motion; and, since this is the time during which the brakes perform their work, the running travel is the important one. Hand adjustment necessarily relies upon the standing travel, and it is only coarsely graded, at best, by the spacing of the holes in the dead-lever guide. The Automatic Slack Adjuster is illustrated on Plates 21 and 22, and its operation is very simple. The brakecylinder piston acts as a valve to control the admission and release of brake-cylinder pressure to and from pipe b (Plate 21) through port a in the cylinder, this port being so located that the piston uncovers it when the predetermined piston travel is exceeded. Whenever the piston so uncovers port a, brake-cylinder air flows through pipe b into slack-adjuster cylinder 2, where the small piston 19 (Plate 22) is forced outward, compressing spring 21. Attached to piston stem 23 is a pawl, extending into casing 24, which engages ratchet wheel 27, mounted within casing 24 upon screw 4 (Plate 21). When the brake is released and the brakecylinder piston returns to its normal position, the air pressure in cylinder 2 escapes to the atmosphere through pipe b, port a and the non-pressure head of the brake cylinder, thus permitting spring 21 to force the small piston to its normal position. In so doing, the pawl turns the ratchet wheel upon screw 4, and thereby draws lever 5 slightly in the direction of the slack-adjuster cylinder, thus shortening the brake-cylinder piston travel and forcing the brake shoes nearer the...
