94. Q. What would be the effect if the handle were moved to lap quickly?

A. Would cause the release of the brakes on the head end of the train.

95. Q. What will cause air to blow at the brake pipe exhaust port when

the handle is moved to lap position?

A. This is caused by a leak from the equalizing reservoir or its

connections, which reduces the pressure in chamber "D" above the

equalizing piston, allowing brake pipe pressure under the piston to

force it up, unseating the brake pipe exhaust valve, permitting brake

pipe air to flow to the atmosphere.
