Abstract: A device for maintaining the proper lateral position of brake shoes with respect to the wheels of a locomotive. An adjusting bar is used to adjust the distance between the pull rod of the brakes and a bracket supported by the safety strap. A supporting axle has a locomotive wheel on each end so that there is a wheel on each rail. Each wheel has a brake which is provided with an adjuster bar. There is thus a left and a right adjuster bar. A tie bar extends from the left adjuster member to the right adjuster member to keep the brake shoes aligned with the respective wheels after there is wear in the various linkage connections.

Abstract: An improved frame assembly for holding radiator heat exchanger core units required for cooling engines such as the locomotive engine. There are specially designed side frames on each side of the cooling core with special push-pad units between the side rail and the core. The push-pads include fixed sections which are fixed with respect to the side frame and movable sections which are movable therewith to provide for unequal expansion of the side frame and the core.
