Equipco Handbrake Wheel and
Housing
The Equipment Specialties
Division of the Union Asbestos and Rubber Company introduced the Equipco 3160
handbrake and E-312 wheel about 1931.
The E-369 handbrake wheel was introduced in 1935, and the design was
somewhat modified in 1938. A new
Equipco mechanism and housing design, the E-3450, was offered beginning in
1940. This design was superceded
in 1950, although the later-style E-369 wheel remained in production until
about 1957, at which time most manufacturers adopted a standardized AAR
handbrake wheel design. This
product contains an SHS injection molded late-style Equipco E-369 wheel along
with urethane 3160 and 3450 mechanisms and housings, therefore representing
installations between 1938 and 1950.
Instructions are included to assist in modifying the brake wheel to
better represent the E-312 (1931-35) and earlier E-369 wheels (1935-38.)
