Who invented brakes?
George Westinghouse was a prolific inventor. In his lifetime he had over 360 patents to his credit. He is best known for his invention in 1868 of an air brake for railway trains. This invention went through several incarnations and modifications, but it was a revolutionary invention for railways as it allowed trains to travel at higher speeds more safely. This increased the efficiency of rail transport, but made scheduling, signaling, and switching more important. Many of his later inventions addressed these issues, and continued to increase the speed, efficiency, and safety of rail transportation.Read more at Suite101: George Westinghouse, Inventor: Westinghouse invented air brakes and pioneered AC powerhttp://rail-history.suite101.com/article.cfm/george_westinghouse_inventor#ixzz0h3u2eiPXhttp://rail-history.suite101.com/article.cfm/george_westinghouse_inventor
