Bibliography

Pertains to automatic variable load sensing devices designed to continuously sense the load of a railway vehicle and provide a signal that can be used by a relay valve for the automatic variation of the air pressure used for brake application, thereby adjusting the brake force accordingly to achieve the required brake performance. Also describes the requirements for the design, dimensions, manufacture and testing of automatic variable load sensing devices.
