DENVER MAN HAS NEW REGULATOR FOR AIR BRAKES
Charles H Hughes Invents Simple Device That May Bring Him Great Wealth
Charles H Hughes, a Denver man, has invented a triple valve governor which promises to make him famous. It is designed to prevent the parting of trains and damage to the equipment by the sudden application of air brakes by the engineer of a freight or passenger train. The principle of the invention is novel and railroad men and railway officials are deeply interested, all admitting the practicability and great value of the Hughes invention.
The valve is designed to govern the exhaust of triple brakes of the air brakes in a train in such a manner that the brakes at various parts of the train will release at substantially the same time, avoiding the inconvenience arising from the greater pressure in the train line at the front end of the car train releasing the brakes at the front of the train first, and the rear of the train afterwards.
It is a well known fact to engineers that when the air is thrown back through the train line the triple valve of the first car receives a greater part of the pressure than the second car, and so on to the end of the train. The reason for this is that each auxiliary valve reservoir is being filled with this air thus robbing the train line as the air blows back through it.
By the Hughes invention it is planned that the air brakes on the last car of the train will release at exactly the same time as the brakes on the first car, preserving a uniform pressure that will prevent accidents. The regulator contains but a single moving part and one spring. The construction is thus simplified and the complicated structures usually adopted are rendered unnecessary.

Dear Sir,
This bureau wishes to thank you for calling to our attention last evening the condition of the unfortunate horse at the north end of Federal Blvd. Our officer, Mr. Fanger, tells us that while he was there you came up in your car with a bucket of water for the suffering animal. Very few people would do this and your action leads us to believe that you are "our kind of folks."
Sincerely,
E. K. Whitehead {sp}, Secretary
