Thesupports under the frame are of such shape andso disposed as to prevent swaying and twisting,by this means securing absolute rigidity in theparts supported, while the strength of the vari-ous parts is amply sufficient to withstand allstrains that they will ever be called upon to en-dure while working at their rated capacity. Bythese means, continual alignment is center support to the frame serves also as asupport for the pin upon which the rocker arm * Fishkill Landing Jlachine Company, FLshklll-on-the-Hudson, gines, the exhaust passages are made separatefrom the body of the cylinder.
