George Westinghouse. Written by: Sage Simmons. Pt 3

The Air Break 
George Westinghouse came up with a new invention, and started to draw plans for it, he had an idea that if a chain could connect to the whole breaks, that the engineer could some how make it do its work, that it would quickly clamp down and stop the train before it was too late.
It was a very good idea... and he knew that it would work... with air.
He knew that people might think that he is crazy... but no, he knew what he was doing, he knew that if he made it correctly... that everything would just work just as well as he wanted it to.
He got started and made the plans, with not very much encouragement from his father... (What a jerk!) and finally proved himself a better inventor than his (Jerky) father. (Honestly... what got him in a sour mood!)
Anyways.. moving on, he started to put his plans and art to the test, and started to slowly build everything. People helped him as the slow process came. When finally one day a man told him that he could finally put it to the test, so he slowly put what ever he needed together, and bam! He was going to have a test run, and if they ran into trouble... there was some possibility... it wouldn't work as planned...

See what happens next in part 4!!
