RE: Emergency Brake Resevoir Usage
You may already know about these sites, great info on brakes:http://www.trainweb.org/railwaytechnical/brake2.html
http://www.sdrm.org/faqs/brakes.htmlAnd at this site is a reproduction of a 1945 Westinghouse manual on AB systems which utilized the emergency res., so I'd say it was in wide usage by at least the mid-'40's:http://www.sdrm.org/faqs/brakes/5062/ab_brakes.html
