K brake drawings for hopper cars
|
There are pictures of hoppers with K brakes on the web and a couple of drawings that indicate copyright, but I have not found any that can be used for a clinic on brakes.
Any help would be appreciated Ron Christensen

Not all K brake installations were the same. I’ve seen photos with the K brake cylinder pointed out towards the end sill and the opposite, with the cylinder pointing towards the slope sheet.

No brake diagram in the 1922 CBC, but there might be something in the 1919, which would be in the public domain. Dennis Storzek
