Points out that a one-chamber brake does not fulfill requirements of a freight-train pneumatic brake, and describes various improvements of which the Kunze-Knorr brake, a combination of the one- and two-chamber brake, is said to be the best, the braking effect being 60 per cent greater than with a one-chamber brake of corresponding size.
