Thisis driven by a two-cylinder reciprocating engine that maybe run in either direction. The cylinders are 7 in. indiameter with a piston stroke of 7 in. Piston valves 2J^in. in diameter, driven by a single eccentric for each cyl-inder are used. These valves are made without anv in-side or outside lap, so that steam is admitted for the fulllength of the stroke at all times. Reversing is accom-plished by changing the flow of steam to and from the en- as to be fully i>rotected against dust and the steam chestsare placed below and between the cylinders. Lubricationis effected by the splash system and oil leakage is pre-vented by packing the valve stems and piston rods asthey pass through the end of the bed. The reversing valve differs in form, but not in method. gine and thus converting the valves from inside to out-side admission and vice versa. Under ordinary operatingconditions the valves operate with inside admission, whilefor revensal they work with an outside admission. The overall dimensions of the engine are as follows:
