Flinn type forautomobiles. Steam enters at the center of the high-pressure steam valve, and when theintercepting valve isin the position .shownin the left cross sec-tion it can pass fromthe high-pressurechest directly to thelow - pressure chest,allowing both cylin-ders to run with high-pressure steam assimple engines, thehigh pressure ex-hausting at A intothe main exhaust chest. This gives the machine great starting orclimbing power. When less power and more economy is wanted, theintercepting valve is turned to the position shown in the right section,closing the free exhaust from the high-pressure cylinder and the livepressure connection to the low-pressure steam chest and compellingthe exhaust of the high-pressure cylinder to enter the receiver and flowto the low-pressure valve.
