Airbrake Tests Are Started At Purdue 'of airbrake tests which will cost practically a half million dollars before . completed and which may revolutionize airbrake systems on railroads will ■ be started Monday by the American Railway Association on its newly constructed test track at Purdue University here. The tests will be conduct- . ed by the staff of the Purdue Engin- • eering Experiment Station under the I direction of Harley A. Johnson, direci tor of Research of the American Railway Association. Dean A. A. Potter i of the Purdue engineering schools. . who is director of the experiment stall t ion. announced that $99,500 had been

'received from the Railway Association for new equipment and the cost of the preliminary work and that the program for the coming year called for the expenditure of $306,000 additional. These tests are a part of a general investigation of power brakes being made by this Association, which represents nearly all the railroads in the country. The interstate Commerce Commission has indicated in a report that Improvements in tire operation of power brakes are essential ami lire Amrlcan Railway Assoclalon agreed to make a thorough Investigation for the purpose of determining what improvements, ir any, can be made in air brake equipment, more particularly for freight trains. in order that this investigation might be made on an independent and unbiased basis, the Association selected Mr. Johnson, who has a high standing in the engineering field, to carry on this work. Mr. Johnson is also General Manager of the Chicago Rapid Transit Company ar’d an alumnus of Purdue University, grpduatelng with the class of 1905. The test track, located at Puf’due University, has been rebuilt to represent present day conditions and special 1 Instruments have been developed and ' built to graphically record the operations of the brakes under test. New types of air brake equipment which have been designed and built to agree with the Interstate Commerce Commission's specifications, have been purchased from the Westinghouse Air Brake Company and the Automatic Straight Air Brake Company and will ire thoroughly tested. The present standard type of freght car brake will also he tested to determine if the new equipments are hotter than the ypo of brake now in use. A large staff of men, especially trained in research work, will ire required to carry in these tests at Purdue University. These men will Ire under the supervision of Prof. G. A. Young. Head of School of Mechanical Engineering. Purdue University. While the tests are being conducted, there will Ire present representatives of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Commit-
