Does anybody have any information on a steam locomotive device called a wiggler valve? Apparently this was a device that sensed differential motion between the locomotive frame and the frame of the lead truck, and if it exceeded a certain amount, the device dumped the train line in order to prevent a derailment that was likely to occur due to rough riding of the locomotive.
