    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Pertains to empty-loaded changeover devices designed to automatically sense when the load of a railway vehicle reaches a defined value (changeover mass), which represents the point at which the vehicle is classed as "loaded" and thereby requires the brake force to be adjusted accordingly to achieve the required brake performance. Also describes manually operated empty-loaded changeover devices and the associated changeover plates.
