    Abstract: Systems and methods for brake cable adjustment are disclosed herein. In this regard, a gage block tool for adjusting a brake cable may comprise a body comprising, a first member extending in a first direction, the first member having a first length and a first thickness, and a second member extending in a second direction, the second member having a second length and a second thickness. At least one of the first member or the second member may be sized and configured to be placed between a stop and a lever of a brake valve, the brake cable connected between the lever and a brake handle being properly adjusted when the gage block sandwiched between the lever and the stop contacts both the lever and the stop while the brake handle is in a park lock position.

    Abstract: A torque bar manufactured by an additive manufacturing process is provided. The torque bar may include a torque bar body made of more than one metallic material. The torque bar may also include a geometry that comprises one or more voids and one or more webs, as well as a varied geometry in the direction of a longitudinal axis. The torque bars can exhibit characteristics, such as vibration damping, tuned stiffness, and tuned bending resistance in order to enhance dynamic stability.
