Thepressure of the water has always the tendency to open the tongue. 56 STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. [Vol. XX. No. i. but it is prevented from doing so by the power produced by thewater pressure on the lower part of the piston of the auxiliarymotor. If, however, the water is guided by the regulating valveinto the upper and larger surface of the differential piston thetongue is opened, but it is shut again when the upper surface ofthe piston is shut off from the pressure water and connected withthe discharge room. As a rule, these high-pressure turbines are provi
