Página 275 - If the required leverage is greater than the total brakebeam leverage, the long end of the lever must go next to the cylinder ; if less, the short end goes next to the cylinder. The dead and live levers may be of different lengths, but must be of the same proportion to develop the same braking power. EXAMPLE. Hodge system of levers, as shown on page 278, also the lengths of the truck levers.
