 ^ I ^EARING off the brake beam, with consequent 
 damage to the car and even a wreck, is frequently 
 the result of the loss of the cotter in the brake lever pin. 
 When the cotter is lost, as is often the case, the brake 
 lever pin drops out and allows the brake lever to slide 
 through the fulcrum and catch between the ties. 
 
 In order to prevent such accidents we have designed 
 the National Safety Brake Lever shown on the opposite 
 page. This lever has two safety lugs, one cast on each 
 side, just above the fulcrum pin hole, which strike 
 against the edges of the fulcrum in case the fulcrum 
 pin comes out, and so prevent the lever from slipping 
 through it. 
 
 In our Catalogue No. 22, a copy of which will be 
 sent on request, we have listed over one hundred 
 different sizes for which we have stock patterns, and 
 which we are prepared to furnish in high grade 
 malleable iron.
