Abstract
The paper commences with an examination of the forces on a brake block applied to the wheel of a railway vehicle. Servo action and certain implications concerning test figures of block friction and adhesion are discussed. The dynamic conditions of equilibrium are shown, if upset, to cause oscillation or ‘chatter’ of the brake gear; an explanation is given of this phenomenon and, with it, a cure.
