in practice it was soon discovered that with the device as shown in Fig. 71 there was a tendencj; for the sliJe valve to move clear back to the release position instead of stopping just at the point where the graduating port was covered, but the e5chaust not yet open. This was due in part to the fact that the amount of force necessary to start the valve upward was more than enough to carr

It is a general and well known law that it takes more force to start a bddy, in motion than it r'equires to keep it moving after it is Started, and this case was but one instance of that law. To overcome this, then, the slide valve was given a slight range of motion independent. of the piston stem, and the small grad- uating valve was so inserted that after the slide-valve had uncovered the port to the cylinder, d slight upward movement of the piston would seat the small valve e-l, and without moving the slide valve cut off communication from the reservoir to the brake cylinder, the resistance afforded by the friction of the slide valve itself acting to stop the upward movement of the piston and prevent any uninten- tional release dviring the service application.
