Figure 134 Balanced Compounds, The ideal reciprocating steamengine, stationary or locomotive, simple or com-pound, is an engine in which the reciprocating partsare perfectly balanced against each other, and thatbalancing should be accomplished without the aidof rotative counter weights. This can be done only by a correct distribution of t h esteam to the two or more cylinders,and then transmitting the energydeveloped in each cylinder, direct-ly through the medium of its ownpiston rod and connecting rod tothe engine shaft. The properbalancing of the reciprocating parts of locomotiveshas always been an especially serious problem, andhas grown more serious with the gradual increase inthe size and speed of engines. But American loco-motive builders have not been tim-id in meeting and solving this prob-lem, and to-day the four-cylinder
