Thelink connecting the low pressure eccentric with the gov-ernor, has several adjustments, by which the low pressurecut-off may be made to vary, thereby securing bestresults under any conditions. The engine is well constructed in all its parts. Thepacking is all metallic, and the packing of piston rods issuch that leaks can only be from one cylinder to the side of the engine is so arranged that it can bedirect coupled to dynamos. All valve motions are onthe other side, which is made in four differ
