About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ...left-hand side of the plate; on the opposite side are a similar number of bolts not shown in the engraving. On the top of the inclined standards B and C are planed flanges, for the reception of similar flanges cast on the cylinder D, to which they are bolted. A belt or passage, c, passes round the cylinder immediately above the lower flange, and this passage communicates on both sides with the exhaust opening in the face of the cylinder, and with the hollow standard C, which forms the exhaust pipe. The piston, shown in section at Figs. 2 and 3, is cast hollow with five webs or arms radiating from the centre hub to the rim; the latter receives on its top surface a series of screws, which secure the ring cover d, to the body of the piston. In the annular space, thus intervening between the cover and the lower flange of the piston, are two external and one internal ring, all of cast-iron, about half an inch thick, and cut through in one place to allow for expansion, the rings being so situated in regard to each other that the openings caused by the cuts in the rings do not coincide with each other. In order to keep these rings pressed against the inside of the cylinder, small studs are screwed into the edge of the rim, the heads of which are furnished with small projections which fit loosely into holes bored into the elliptical springs (there being a spring to each bolt), and their width is such as to allow them free action in the annular space between the packing rivets and the rim of the piston. It will be easily seen that on the external rings being worn, the piston in consequence requiring retightening, all that is necessary is to remove the annular cover and turn the small screws so as to give greater rigidity to the springs, which thus press the packing-...
