Sur chaque appareil, la charge à griller est alimentée par deux trémies; elle se compose d’une première couche de 3 cm d’épaisseur; cette couche, dite couche d’allumage, passe sur le premier caisson, mis en dépression, et, en même temps, sous le foyer allumeur, voûte en réfractaire comportant trois brûleurs. Elle passe ensuite sous la deuxième trémie qui porte la charge proprement dite à une hauteur de 30 à 35 cm, puis sur les caissons suivants, mis en pression; le grillage agglomérant s’effectue alors de bas en haut, par passage de l'air à travers la charge. 2, record 11, French, - grillage%20agglom%C3%A9rant

When pressure is reduced in the brake pipe by air exhausting to atmosphere (through an open valve), the higher pressure from the auxiliary reservoirs causes the control valve on each car to admit air under pressure to the brake cylinders to apply the brake shoes to the wheels with the help of rods and levers. The same result is automatically obtained in emergency when air is accidentally released by a broken pipe or burst hose. 2, record 14, English, - application
