Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an expert in air brakes, presents a comprehensive and detailed examination of the Westinghouse Air Brake from its inception in 1869 up to 1905. The author provides an engaging historical account of the technical development of the Westinghouse brake system, from its humble beginnings as a straight air brake to the sophisticated and widely adopted quick-action form. The book offers invaluable insights into the intricate mechanisms and operational principles of the Westinghouse brake system, with a focus on its three main components: the pump, the triple valve, and the engineer's brake valve. It explains how these components work in unison to control the application, release, and modulation of braking force in a safe and efficient manner. Furthermore, the book explores the evolution of the brake system in response to the growing demands of the railroad industry and the need for increased safety and efficiency in train operations. It traces the development of features such as the plain automatic brake, the quick-action triple valve, and the equalizing discharge valve, alongside the motivations behind these innovations. By delving into the technical complexities and historical context of the Westinghouse Air Brake, this book not only provides a fascinating account of an essential railroad technology but also highlights the ingenuity and perseverance of the engineers and inventors who shaped its development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
