Railway and Locomotive Engineering . than the Walschaert. Gear-Parking Rings Recessedin the \ alve Chamber—Wider Parts and Evhaust Openings.

There are other advantagesalso in the modern valve gears that neednot now be dwelt upon. Suffice it to saythat in the mere matter of weight of partsthe Young valve gear can be very sub-stantially constructed at least one-fourthlighter than that of the Walschaerts , of itself, is of importance as thelocomotive continues to be constructed inheavier forms, and the lightening of any.
