A truck live lever connected at one end to the pull rod assembly and at the opposite end to a standard brake beam is also connected intermediate its ends to one end of an automatic slack adjuster which passes through the bolster. A truck dead lever is connected at one end to the bracket assembly, at the opposite end to another standard brake beam, and is connected intermediate its ends to the opposite end of the slack adjuster. One end of the multiplying lever is connected to a hand brake. A fluid actuable piston and cylinder assembly is attached to the bolster and connected to the truck live lever, where movement of the piston and movement of the hand brake actuates the brakes.
