A `Shoe` Brake Shoe
Close-up of `Shoe` Brake
This photograph is of the brake shoe of the hand car­ located on the Second Floor. It is interesting to note that this brake shoe is exactly that, an old leather ­shoe converted for use as a brake shoe. The lace open­ings of the shoe are clearly visible.

The picture shows the location of the hand-car that contains the brake.
