Excerpt from book: © Wide World Photos George Westinghouse The Boy Who Developed His Mechanical Ideas t-A YOUTH named Westinghouse, still in / his teens, was traveling in a rail- road train one afternoon when the train came to a stop beside an open field. After a few minutes of waiting, young Westinghouse left the coach to see what had happened. He discovered that there was a wreck ahead, and as the conductor told him that the train would be delayed for some time, he decided that he would investigate the wreck. Two freight trains had collided, and both were nearly demolished. The engineer of each train had seen that a collision was inevitable and, slowing down the engines as much as possible, had jumped. "I saw the train coming toward me and set the hand brakes, but there was not time to stop the cars," said one of the engineers. "The wreck would not have happened if the engineers could have controlled the cars from their engine cabs," another trainman remarked. Young Westinghouse was greatly interested. "What do you mean by controlling the cars?" he asked. The engineer explained that when he wanted to stop a train he had to signal with the engine whistle for brakes to be applied by hand to the cars. There were no brakes on the cars that could be worked from the engine to bring the train to a sudden stop. The young man listened intently. When the line was clear again and he could continue his journey, he sat thinkingabout brakes for railroad trains, automatic brakes that could be controlled from the cab of the engine. In the weeks that followed, young West-- inghouse did much thinking about brakes, but none of his ideas were practical. He tried a mechanical automatic brake, which he rejected. Then, realizing that he needed a great deal of power to put on h...

Christmas

Excerpt from book: Ill It was interesting to see how they took the proposal to drop that Christmas from the calendar there in Old Trail Town. It was so eminently a sensible thing to do, and they all knew it. Oh, every way they looked at it, it was sensible, and they admitted it. Yet, besides Mary Chavah and Ebenezer Rule, probably the only person in the town whose satisfaction in the project could be counted on to be unfeigned was little Tab Winslow. For Tab, as all the town knew, had a turkey brought up by his own hand to be the Winslows' Christmas dinner, but such had become Tab's intimacy with and fondness for the turkey that he was prepared to forego his Christmas if only that dinner were foregone, too. "Theophilus Thistledown is such a human turkey," Tab had been heard explaining patiently; "he knows me and he knows his name. He don't expect us to eat him . . . why, you can't eat anything that knows its name." But every one else was just merely sensible. And they had been discussing Christmas in this sensible strain at the town meeting that night, before Simeon and Abel broached their plan for standardizing their sensible leanings. Somebody had said that Jenny Wing, and Bruce Rule, who was Ebenezer's nephew, were expected home for Christmas, and had added that it "didn't look as if there would be much of any Christmas down to the station to meet them." On which Mis' Mortimer Bates had spoken out, philosophical to the point of brutality. Mis' Bates was little and brown and quick, and her clothes seemed always to curtainher off, so that her figure was no part of her presence. "I ain't going to do a thing for Christmas this year," she declared, as nearly everybody in the village had intermittently declared, "not a living, breathing thing. I can't, and folks might just as well k...
