The Hydraulic Buffer operates in thismanner: The cylinder is tilled almost full withglycerine, which is preferable to water in that it doesnot evaporate or freeze. A certain amount of air isalways left in the cylinder. In the recoil of the car-riage the piston-head connected to it by the piston-rod and cross-head cmipresses the glycerine in the. , ,(o) »
