ROTORUA RAILWAY ENQUIRY.
EFFICACY OF THE BRAKE. Per Press Association. Rotdrua, Friday. At the enquiry into the train accident, Richard E. Robinson, YYcstinghouso brake expert, said there was only one part of the brake likely to be defective, that was the coupling, due to continued coupling and uncoupling. The only theory he had to account for the accident was that Maori children might have turned the cock at JSgatira. If the porter failed to turn the cock it would have the same effect. Mr Kettle, S.M., remarked that it seemed a waste of time to call evidence as to the efficiency of the Westinghouse brake. It was used throughout the world, and was admitted to be the best.
