After two and a half years of postponement the Drinker-Emerson case comes before a Boston court today. It will be decided upon purely legal grounds in reference to patent laws but for the student and professional man it has ethical and scientific ramifications with which the courts will be unconcerned.

New York Air Brake, founded in Watertown, N. Y. about 50 years ago to turn out a vacuum brake, got involved in patent squabbles with George Westinghouse, and the upshot was an agreement whereby New York made Westinghouse brakes under license. Today the business is split approximately 25% to New York, 75% to Westinghouse. Westinghouse's new type AB was put on the market three years ago. Only 30,000 cars...
