A question aimed mostly at motormen who have come out of schoolcar
within the past decade: Do you still teach you to avoid "fanning"
the brake valve {repeatedly applying and release the brakes}?
Do they teach you to stop smoothly with a small final application>
Motor Instructors/TSS: Do you give field re-instruction to motormen
when you observe fanning, stopping with 70 pounds or other herky-jerky
operation>
