An admission valve regu-lates the flow of steam, and all that isnecessary is a little oil to lubricate thebearings. There is no belting to re-pair, or spur wheels to break, and you. FIG. 1.

It has been running for a number ofmonths and has had no kind of repair,and from all appearance it will last
