The working pressure is evenly dis-trihuted over the entire valve surface, #iichis almost exactly a half circle and this pres-sure being always central, t lere is no tend-ency to wear either the edges or the surfaceswith v;hich they come in contact. The valve ad-justments arf- so fixed they cannot be disar-ranged by an incorapetant attendant. The valvemovement is properly timed to admit, and tokeep in a full cylinder of air at each stroke. Imperial X compressors are controlledby an Air-Ball governor which is a combinationof reliable fly-ball speed governor with a press-ure cylinder connected with the air receiver andacting upon the b;:ilance:l valve of the governor is driven by a chain from the shaft. .
