Oh, and an important point:

When studying the motion in brake rigging caused by the brake wheel, remember that the brake cylinder is inactive and this becomes fixed point/ dead lever.

(and in my previous post, there are not really two live levers, because the lever on the A end of the car is fixed to the needle beam and really is a dead lever).

Flame on!
