Their advantages over the reciprocating steam enginelie first in the fact that they run with almost no jarring, and thereforerequire much lighter and less expensive foundations, and second in thefact that they occupy less than one tenth the floor space of ordinaryengines of the same capacity. Their efliciency is fully as high as that Exhaust Uemlving. ?i^ 4l|l|i I Jl
