Mechanical appliances, mechanical movements and novelties of construction; a complete work and a continuation, as a second volume, of the author's book entitled "Mechanical movements, powers and devices" ... including an explanatory chapter on the leading conceptions of perpetual motion existing during the past three centuries.

The engineconsists especially of a jacketed cylinder, C, in the interior of which rolls a piston ring, G>rlimrm. r^vJivilUi carrying at its upper part a partition, H,always connectedwith a special oscil-lating piece, r, r, andcontributing towardcontinually dividingthe interior space intotwo compartments,the capacity of oneof which varies in in-verse proportion tothat of the other. Two cocks, J, J, placed on each side of H, serve toestablish the admission escapement according to the direction of run-ning it; and the maneuvering is very easily effected by means of asimple handle that actuates a toothed wheel that gears with the twococks. The motion of the piston ring is transmitted to the drivingshaft, D, through the intermedium of two symmetrical cams, E, unitedat their center by a rod and nut, which permits of regulating their dis-tance apart. The joint between these two cams, placed in the axis ofthe motor, therefore constitutes a more or less open channel in which. io6 STEAM POWER APPLIANCES. is placed a series of tempered steel balls that roll upon a correspond-ing path arranged in the interior of the piston ring. Two cheekstraversed by the driving shaft close the cylinder at the sides, and aperfect tightness between these cheeks and the lateral faces of thepiston ring is obtained. 252.
