Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...completed its full stroke, thereby allowing the expansive force of the steam to exert its energy upon the piston from the time the cut-off takes place up to a point where the steam is released. The distance the valve travels during the expansion of the steam equals the total of the outside and inside laos of the valve. EXHAUST CLEARANCE. The exhaust clearance is the space between the inside edge of the exhaust arch and the outside edge of the exhaust bridges when the valve stands centrally on its seat, indicated by the space between lines O and P (Fig. 50 COMPRESSION. Steam pressure which does not pass out of the cylinder during the time the exhaust port is open is entrapped in the cylinder, shown in Fig. 62, and indicated by the arrows. When the valve is in this position the inside edge of the valve closes the back steam port to the exhaust. The exhaust steam which is entrapped in the back end of the cylinder is compressed by the piston on its return stroke. This is called the point of compression. It will be seen that both steam ports are now covered by the valve shown in Fig. 62. The compression will continue to increase until the piston has completed its stroke. With cylinders which are not equipped with relief valyes, when the compression becomes greater in the cylinder than the pressure in the steam-chest, it will force the valve off its seat and relieve the cylinder of its excessive pressure. PREVENTING BREAKDOWNS AND ACCIDENTS. Breakdowns and accidents are prevented by a thorough and careful inspection of the engine before leaving the roundhouse; also by making a thorough inspection each time when oiling. Anengineman should set up the wedges or see that they are properly set up by the roundhouse man, key up all rod brasses, see...

Excerpt from Locomotive Compounding and Superheating: A Practical Text-Book for the Use of Railway and Locomotive Engineers, Students, and Draughtsmen It is now just upon thirty years since the first practical compound locomotives were built, but even yet the compound locomotive does not occupy the universally accepted position which theory would suggest that it should do. But whereas in the early years of its existence as a definite feature of locomotive engineering practice it was looked upon in most quarters with disfavour and distrust, and the engineers first concerned with the design of such engines had to contend against prejudice and opposition, and had no easy task to obtain even a trial of their systems, now the position is far more favourable, and compound locomotives according to many different systems are to-day in use to the number of many thousands in various parts of the world. In fact, it is not claiming too much to say that the compound locomotive occupies to-day an assured position, and it is probable that before many years have passed it will become a standard feature of locomotive engineering in all countries. As regards compounding for locomotives, Great Britain has maintained its reputation for conservatism, for its record in this respect is not a very satisfactory one as compared with the experimental and original work to be attributed to foreign locomotive engineers; but this is largely the result of different circumstances and policy. In this country the Locomotive Superintendent or Chief Mechanical Engineer of a railway is responsible for the design and efficiency of large numbers of locomotives doing very hard and greatly varied work; but he is not encouraged to experiment or to depart radically from standard methods: and in most cases he has to design engines which are developments of previously existing designs, each class being somewhat more powerful, more reliable, and yet more simply and cheaply constructed proportionately than its predecessors. The engines are also generally required to be capable of doing much work for which they are not specially designed. Consequently, actual novelties are few in British locomotive history, and notable experiments and changes in methods of design occur only once or twice during, it may be, a long term of service of a particular engineer as locomotive chief.
