The arm ~ this valve is Id itself new: the valve
and its sat at and near the of their contact
being pAerinal versus conical, and its action the
direct reverse III the ordinary safety valve. Sus-
pended from the valve stem, either directly or
fhr0ngh aseYerage, ID weight with which its lew
erags Il equal to ahe pressure Of steam per square
inch, intended to be carried By the boiler as a
Maximun pressure, working in connection with
the valve and weight there is upon the outside:
from the peculiar position of the falerum Of the
lever, the autssde or counterpoise weight assists
the steam to raise the large weight.
Thus, twill be seem that while In the ordinary
safety yalpc The more weight Or load placed on the
lever, the more steam the boiler will carry; in the
Storms Yalve, the more weight placed on the
icver the less steam Will the boiler carry, thus pre-
GLIDING the possibility of carrying greater
amount ofz pressure than is allowed by law. The
weight suspended from the valve inside the boiler
WILL BY the ebuliton Of the steam, in movable
powers hi the movement of fine boiler be contin-
uaily ID iastlon. This motion. however slight will
cause the xaire to eseillate In its seat upon the
principle 0f ball and socket joint thereby pres
reasizg ne raue loxa becoming fast IN its seat, as

while at the same time the joint is perfectly steam
tight. This valve, when applied to boiler is set
"a the required maximum pressure, and while
q waa carry thls amount Or any less that may be
more than the maximum, thereby preventing any
POSSIBILITY Of overlooking.
