Hi ironken

In our railroad museum (Europe) we created some big boards showing different railroad brake systems. As we own also some of older US RR equipment from IIWW (USRA S-160, some cars) we would like to present also the American systems (historical).
Additionally one of collegues is a professional trainer for RR engineers and he would like to include those details also into his trainings especially the new systems used now on US railroads.

I am looking for technical sources about the AAR brakes. (Parts, drawings etc.)
Can anybody help me? (WEB pages, book titles, catalogues etc.)
