DESCRIPTION.

' I '111- AiiUimalic Sanding; Apparatus consists of special saml valves A, as shown on page 7, an ordinary air-hrake auxiliary
-•- reservoir (I'late V. 21, Fig. 3, Weslinghousc 1S94 Catalogue), anil a small special triple valve (supplied by the

Wcstinghouse Air-Iirake Company), more simple in (orm than any triple valve in use for air-brake service, which are
locateil at any convenient point upon the locomotive. The triple valve has ihe usual connections with the air-brake train pipe
and the auxiliary reservoir; the other connection (which usually leads to the brake cylinder) leads to the sand-box. An
additional pipe connection betweei. the auxiliary reservoir and the main train pipe is provided and contains a small plug cock
which is located as shown at I in the illustration on page 2. When this cock is open, s> as to establish a limited means
of communication between the auxiliary reservoir and train pipe, the track i> automatically sanded only in emergency appli-
cations of the air-brake>. When the engineer desires to automatically sand the rails in service stops also, he merely closer
this cock.

The apparatus for |)neuniatic snnding controlled liy hand, consists of a p, e leading from the main leservoir (jf the
air-brake system to the sand valves in tlie sand-lmx. This pipe contains the application valve li, located conveniently in the
cab, by which the engineer controls the How of sand for starting trains, ascending grades, etc.

It will be <piite ajiparent that either the automatic apparatus, or the hand-controlled apparatus, may be introduced
alone upon engines; but it is highly desirable tliat they should be combined as shown in the illustrations on pages 2 and 7.

This pnetniiatic sanding apparatus does not at all interfere with the operation of the old sand lever, which is usually
retained for use in any cases when there mav be no air pressure in the main reservoir.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION.

tnicliims as lo iho iiiannor of operation arc

' I ' H K apparatus is so simple lliat, witli tlie dcscriplion already L;iviii, no ins
■^ really necessary.

The Aiilonialic Apparatus is operated, in coniunctinn willi the aird)ral<e ajipnratus, by the act of applying the liraUes
in the customary way. If the eock I is closed, the rails are sanded in v'very slop of the train. If the cork I is open, the
rails are sanded only in emeri^ency ap|)lications of the brakes.

To sand the rails for startinj; trains, ascendint; t;ra<les, etc., the en^nieer opens the valve li, anil the sand continues to
llow until he closes it aj;ain.

DRY SAND MUST BE USED.

The drip cock K attached to the application valve H should lie openeil once a ilay to permit the dischart;e of any water
precipitateil from the compressed air.

It is of the utiuosi importance that the sand-pipes shoulil lie sufficiently loni;, and lieut in the proper direction at the lower
end, to deliver the sand upon the centre o( the rail, as near the point of conlacl of the driviiii; wheel with the rail as prjssilile.
