Development of Valves and Valve Motion.* PART ONE. BY ANGUS SINCLAIR. We do not know of any subject thatexcites so much interest among therank and file of mechanical men asvalve motion. There is certainly noother, subject which excites so muchdiscussion, and no one which leavestlie disputants so little edified after they. I-I«. 1. LlSTRAT, VASK. have wrangled for hours about detailsof construction or design that cannotbe settled by ordinary reasoning. Thereis a tendency among many people toassume that there is something aboutthe mechanism that actuates the valveswhich is beyond the ordinary under-standing, and that certain experts havea monopoly of the exact knowledgeconcerning valves and valve belief is not well founded. Anyman of ordinary intelligence, who willdevote careful attention to what func-tions a valve motion performs and care-fully note what the results are, willsoon become as well informed on thesubject as any of the so-called history of steam engine valvesand valve motion is a curious study andbrings the investigator in touch with a
