For those not familiar with the problem of Birney style brake valves,
let me tell you about them. They are scarecer [sic] then hens teeth.
The brake and door opening valves are incorporated in the same casting.
If one or both are not on the car when obtained the only place in the
entire world where you may buy one , if they will sell any is Bendigo
AU.  Orange Empire Ry. Museum just bougt one from them for one of their
Birneys that was missing one when donated to them many years ago.The
price was $5000 . It is possible the Manhiem car was missing them as
well and one of the restoration groups that worked on the car made up a
new system for it.
