CCCCis tbe cylinder; PPP the piston, and the
valve The piston is of such length that through the
whole of its movement some part OF the funneshaped
opennr in the piston shown between - shall be op
pose the exhaust pipe L. The valve has also longi
tudinal aperture Shown as extending at each side Of
S. which in tho same way. Is always opened TO the
steam pipe the position OF which shown by the dotted
circle s. The diagram shows the engine with pressure
on at the steam end Of the cylinder in which position
the unnelshaped opening communicates with the semi
circular one opposite il in the piston through
the curved tubular opening into tho eek
baust " end of the cynler, allowing the
steam from that end 20 pass of by Z. When tho ps-
ton mas reached the end Of It's movement the steam
passes through little passage cut In the inside OF the
cynder al "a from az which is in communication with
the valye-opcning, and entering at the end OF
the valve through Al, which will thus be op-
posite tho little space between the valve ana
the piston head. This throws tho valve into
the reverse position in the piston. and the steam now
enters by the opposite gallery Of the valve into the tubu
lar curved passage communicating with the "eXhausV
end OF the cylinder aud az the same moment closes tue


steam" end the steam passage aud opens IL 10 inc
exhaust In this way there can be no stopping on
center because is possibility OF shutting OIL the
steam at one end without simultaneously letting 1t on at
the oher and let the engine move as slowly as may be
il will never stop while there is any steam pressure
The amount of steam is regulated by hand valve and
the work being constant no regulator s needed.
