Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . elow the connection leadingto the main reservoir. On No. 6 and No. 5 the airvalves are arranged somewhat different, as will beexplained farther on. These valves are eight innumber instead of six, as in the other sizes of intermediate valves are so designated, becauseof the fact that the low-pressure cylinder dischargesits air into the high-pressure cylinder through thesevalves, and they are therefore intermediate betweenthe low and high-pressure cylinders. The action ofthe air valves in the No. 1 and No. 2 pump is asfollows: When the low-pressure piston starts on itsup stroke a partial vacuum is created underneath it,and the atmospheric pressure forces the bottomreceiving valve (marked 2 DP 9, Fig. 239) off its seatand allows the air to rush in and fill the low-pressurecylinder underneath the piston, and as this piston doernot move again to start on its down stroke until thehigh-pressure piston completes its up stroke, it is S8o LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING 2 OP 44*2 DP 11 2 op si.
