The valve levers whichare actuated by the several cams are pivoted on a spindlesupported by two small standards fixed to the cylinderhead, the starting valve cam lever D, and the fuel valvelever F being seen in Fig. 17. The vertical governor spindleC which operates the cam shaft, the fuel valve pump, thegovernor, and in some machines the small lubricatingpumps, is driven off the main crank shaft by a wormdrive, running in oil
