Text Appearing Before Image:
al system when used. (g) Two duplex air gages—one, to indicate equalizing-reservoir and main-reservoir pressures; the other, to indicate brake-pipe and locomotive brake-cylinder pressures. (h) Driver, tender, and truck brake cylinders, cut-out cocks, air strainers, hosecouplings, fittings, etc., incidental to the piping, for purposes readily under-stood. Names of Pipes. In order to simplify the description of thedifferent parts of the equipment, the following names of pipes aregiven which are shown in Fig. 92: Discharge Pipe: Connects the air compressor to the first main reservoir. Connecting Pipe: Connects the two main reservoirs. Main Reservoir Pipe: Connects the second main reservoir to the automatic brake valve, distributing valve, feed valve, reducing valve, and compressor governor.Feed Valve Pipe: Connects the feed valve to the automatic brake valve.Excess-Pressure Pipe: Connects the feed-valve pipe to the upper connecton of the excess-pressure head of the compressor governor.
Text Appearing After Image:
AIR BRAKES 113 Excess-Prcfisure Operating Pipe: Connects the automatio brake valve to the lower connection of the excess-pressure head of the compressor governor.Reducing Volve Pipe: Connects the reducing valve to the independent brake valve, and to the signal system, when used.Brake Pipe: Connects the automatic brake valve with the distributing valve and all triple valves on the cars in the train.Brake-Cylinder Pipe: Connects the distributing valve with the driver, tender, and truck-brake cylinders.Applicalion Cylinder Pipe: Connects the application cylinder of the distributing valve to the independent and automatic brake valves.Distributing Valve Release Pipe: Connects the application-cylinder exhaust port of the distributing valve to the automatic brake valve through the independent brake valve. In some installations the automatic brake valve is providedwith a pipe bracket to which the feed valve is directly attached,thus eliminating the feed-valve pipe and the excess-pressure pipe
