AIR BRAKE EXPERIMENTS ON KANSAS TRAIN
A Southern Kansas train between Kansas City and Wellington tested an automatic continuous air brake by E L Gomme a Santa Fe engineer at Chanute. The simple valve arrangement uses signal pipe to supply continuous high pressure to the brake cylinder with reserve from an auxiliary tank enabling brakes to hold indefinitely. The setup can be added to freight trains with a second pipe. It surpasses the Westinghouse brake and could improve mountain service by preventing brake release on empty cylinders. The inventor claims a long sought improvement.
