Aside from any consideration of themechanical application of such a schemeas suggested, suppose that an ideal ar-rangement of apparatus could be appliedto the ordinary freight car as explainedin the article referred to and see whatresults. Assume an empty car to weigh 35, 000lbs. The standard nominal braking.
