Excerpt from 1907 Air Brake Catechism, and Instruction Book on the Construction and Operation of the Westinghouse and New York Air Brakes: With a List of Examination Questions and Answers for Enginemen and Trainmen The air cylinders are known as the low pres sure and high pressure cylinders, and in each type of pump, the difference in the areas of the air cylinders is in the same proportion, the low pressure piston having twice the area of the high, and the high pressure the same area as the steam cylinders. Thus three measures of air are compressed with two measures of steam. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
