    Instruction pamphlet No. 50384-4 Sup 1 June 1943 as adopted by the Association of American Railroads. Westinghouse Air Brake Company.  Wilmerding, PA. There are two folded diagrams tucked in this book.  Do they belong there? I have no idea! They are both well used, or referred too! You can see grease, dir, oil-from working in the famous 'shops' in Atoona, PA.
    The books belonged to T.E. Cashman a friend of my grandfathers, who both worked for the PRR in Altoona, PA.
