Improved Air Brake Aims to Prevent Rear-End Collisions
Inventor J B Richardson of 1521 Van Storch avenue has developed an air brake appliance tested on the Delaware and Hudson and Delaware Lackawanna and Western lines. The patent, granted in the United States on November 6, covers a system that automatically applies rear brakes if a train parts, while keeping front brakes under engineer control to avoid rear-end collisions. The device signals the engineer when separation occurs and uses a simple, cost efficient construction with an arm and chain mechanism to operate the air valves.
