Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The cylinder and valves of a steam engine. The piston slides in the cylinder A, which is closed at either end by the heads C. The piston rod c slides through the stuffing-box D, which is closed by the gland e; the space a being packed with soft packing material. Steam is admitted from the steam chest B through the ports S, when the valve V is in proper position, and is exhausted through S into E, when the D slide valve opens communication between E and either of the ports S. The D slide valve V slides from the left to right and back, alternately opening each of the ports S into the steam chest B, and allowing steam to enter one end of the cylinder clearance. |
