"The purpose of the emergency reservoir is to provide the additional pressure 
in an emergency application as Gordon said. Both reservoirs supply air to 
the brake cylinder at the same time.At the completion of the emergency 
application, the 2 reservoirs and brake cylinder are equalized at 60 psi 
from a 70 psi brake pipe pressure.

Dick,
    Like I said, being as both cylinders have the same pressure, they cannot supply air to the brake cylinder at the same time. You can have a reservoir as big as Texas , but it still only has the same amount of pressure in it that the aux. res. has. Basic physics.
