Re: Air Brakes

Some Pages from an 1886 WABCO Catalog with oversize pages.
Shows triple valves with 4 way cock + pages of explanation.
A 1900 cat does not have this equipment so WABCO had stopped offering it by that time. Doesn't mean that there wasn't some older rolling stock still in service at that time that needed that set up, just that enough cars and
locomotives had the newer air brake systems that it wasn't offered.
Sorry the scans aren't better, hopefully they are readable. Had to reduce the picture to make the byte limit.
