STEAM POWER APPLIANCES. 105 250. ROTARY ENGINE. Harrington type. The disks have abearing surface of several inches on each other, preventing the passage of steam between them. An end elevation partlyin section, showing the piston A, and the abut-ment disk B, in position at the instant oftaking steam through a port from the valvechamber E. The piston disks and gear areattached to the driving shaft, and the abut-ment disks and gear are attached to theshaft K. These shafts run in taper phos-phor-bronze bearings, which are adjustable forwear or other causes by screw-caps. Thewhole mechanism is kept rigidly in place by the flanged hub. Theflanged heads project through the cylinder head, touching the pistondisk, and thereby prevent any end motion of the 251. ROTARY STEAM ENGINE. French design. The engineconsists especially of a jacketed cylinder, C, in the interior of which rolls a piston ring, G>rlimrm. r^vJivilUi carrying at its upper part a partition, H,always connectedwith a special oscil-lating piece, r, r, andcontributing towardcontinually dividingthe interior space intotwo compartments,the capacity of oneof which varies in in-verse proportion tothat of the other. Two cocks, J, J, placed on each side of H, serve toestablish the admission escapement according to the direction of run-ning it; and the maneuvering is very easily effected by means of asimple handle that actuates a toothed wheel that gears with the twococks. The motion of the piston ring is transmitted to the drivingshaft, D, through the intermedium of two symmetrical cams, E, unitedat their center by a rod and nut, which permits of regulating their dis-tance apart.
