Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A railcar brake head having an upper end, a lower end, and a pair of side s. The brake head further includes an elongated concave keyway defining an e longated axis and opening to the upper and lower ends of the brake head. At least a portion of the keyway is defined between a rear wall and spaced tran sversely extending upper and lower lugs. A front surface of each lug is adap ted for mounting engagement with a brake shoe. The longitudinal spacing betw een the centralized upper and lower lugs is such that a keybridge extending from a rear face of the brake shoe is received and accommodated therebetween whereby inhibiting endwise movement of the brake shoe relative to the brake head. The centrally disposed upper lug on th? brake head is configured with a camming surface, a longitudinal portion of which is arranged relative to the keyway for guiding and facilitating movement of a free end of an elongat ed key downwardly past the upper lug.
