A very important feature in this machine is the accumu-lator, which is composed of spiral springs contained in two verticaltubes, one of which is shown at H. These springs are connected withthe crosshead of the jockey wheel by means of chains passing over thepulley K. The crosshead moves in steel slides, and rises and falls asthe weight on the wire varies, indicating on a scale the strain in pounds. 512. THE DRAG STEERING GEAR.
