Re: (erielack) DL&W plate

Hi Glen:

	It's a diagram of the brake levers from a freight car. The numbers are 
the length of the levers and the dots are where the levers connect or 
are anchored to the body or trucks.

	For a given amount of piston travel, by changing the lengths of the 
levers, you achieve the desired amount of pressure the brake shoe 
applies to the wheel.
