Abstract: 1804. Wood, G. W. Jan. 27. Movable-abutment type, with abutments sliding axially. The abutment is divided into two parts, each part sliding into a lateral pocket under the action of cams on the main shaft. The engine works by expansion, a cut-off valve being actuated by an adjustable cam on the main shaft. Reversing is effected by two interconnected plug cocks. A piston 24, Fig. 3, is mounted on a drum 25, the periphery of which forms the inner wall of the annular working chamber. The piston is provided with spring-pressed packing-strips at the end and sides, and the sides of the drum are packed with spring-pressed rings. The interior of the drum carries a weight 52 to balance the weight of the piston. The abutment 54, Figs. 3 and 4, comprises two parts 53, each of which slides into a lateral pocket 55, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, in the casing as the piston passes. Each part 53 carries a rod 57 reciprocated by a bell-crank lever 60 operated by a cam 65 on the main shaft. The distribution of motive fluid is controlled by two plug cocks 22, 23, Fig. 3, actuated by interconnected levers 28, 29, Fig. 2. In the position shown in Fig. 3, the valves are set for clockwise driving. Steam enters a pipe 68 and passes through a steam-chest 18 to a port J ; thence it is directed by the valve 23 to a port M. Exhaust tikes place through a port N, valve 22, and port E. When the plug cocks are reversed, steam enters the port J, passes through the valve 22 to the port N, and exhausts through the port M, valve 23, and port G. A balanced cut-off valve L slides in the steam-chest 18 and carries a rod 48 on which is secured an horizootal rod 49, Figs. 1 and 2. The ends of the rod 49 are engaged by levers 46, pivoted at 47 and oscillated by cams on the main shaft. Each of these cams consists of two disks 42, connected by a pin and slot. The object in making each cam in two parts relatively revoluble is to vary the lift of the cut-off valve. A nut 44 serves to clamp the two parts in position. The position of the cams 42 is varied for reversing by set-screws which engage the shaft.
