TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Creamer's method of operating Railroad Brakes. 



jYo. 817 — Method of operating Railroad Brakes. 

 U. S. Railroad Car Brake Co., N. Y. Is the best method of oper- 

 ating railroad car brakes. Patented by Wm. G. Creamer, of 

 New- York. The arrangement is exceedingly simple, and can be 

 readily attached to the ordinary brakes now in use. Its peculi- 

 arities consist of its being under the control of the engineer and 

 brakeman. It is connected with the bell cord, and in case of 

 danger all the brakes in the train can be instantly applied and 

 the train stopped in the space of 250 feet. It is on use on the 

 New-York and Harlem Eailroad, and has given entire satisfac- 

 tion. We therefore recommend it in the highest terms.
