The gland contains a cavity for aswab, which when once supplied witha lubricant requires very little furtherattention from the engineer. The en-tire arrangement of gland, cone andpacking allows a greater amount oflost motion to exist between the cross-head and the guide bars than is usuallypermissable.

The expansionring, which one observes immediatelyback of the compressed coil spring, issomething new in rod packing, and itspurpose is to prevent steam escapingfrom the cylinder and to reduce thepressure on the sides of the metallicpacking itself. To set out this packingsolidly against the walls of the stuffingbox, diagonal openings have been in-troduced in the back cone underneaththe expansion ring for the admission ofsteam. The
