This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Westinghouse Automatic Brake The automatic action of the brake is due to the construction of the triple valve. The primary parts of which are a piston and a slide-valve. A redue tion of pressure in the brake-pipe causes the excess of pressure in the aux iliary reservoir to force the piston of the triple valve down. Moving the slide-valve so as to allow the air in the auxiliary reservoir to pass directly into the brake-cylinder and apply the brakes. When the pressure in the brake-pipe is again increased above that in the auxiliary reservoir. The piston is forced up. Moving the slitleovalve to its former position. Opening communication from the brake-pipe to the auxiliary reservoir, and permitting the air in the brake-cylinder to escape, thus releasing the brakes. Thus it will be seen that any radar/ion a] pressure in {be brake-pipe app/11's (lu bmérs, which is the essential feature of the automatic brake. If the engineer wishes to apply the brakes, he moves the handle of the engi neer's brake-valve to the right, which first closes a valve retaining the pressure in the main reservoir. And then permits a portion of the air in the brake-pipe to escape. To release the brakes. He turns the handle to its former position, which allows the air in the main reservoir to flow into the brake. Pipe. Restoring the pressure and releasing the brakes. A valve. Called the conductor's valve. Is placed in each car. With a cord running the length of the car. And any of the train-men. By pulling this cord, can open the valve, which allows the air to escape from the brake-pipe. Should the train break in two, the air in the brake-pipe escapes, and the brakes are applied to both sections of the train; and should a hose or pipe burst. The brakes are also automatically applied.

Book excerpt: While most know Thomas Edison for his invention of the light bulb, his counterpart, George Westinghouse, is too often overlooked. Westinghouse, however, became known as one of the most prolific inventors and businessmen of the Industrial Revolution. This biography reveals the man whose teachers suspected was mentally disabled and who quit college after one semester, yet founded more than 60 different companies employing 50,000 people, and received 361 U.S. patents. He later fought the "Battle of the Currents" (AC vs. DC) with Thomas Edison and won. Westinghouse, with his engineers, provided power and light for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They harnessed the massive power of Niagara Falls and sent it over wires to light Buffalo and eventually the Northeast. His electric engines powered trains, and his air brakes stopped them. His scientific contributions forever changed the world.

Download or read book The Economics of Railroad Safety written by Ian Savage and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.
