Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . iwvertheless gives or appears to give as good adistribution of the steam as either the balancedsi de valve or the piston valve, while at the same timeit^ operation is accomplished with a minimum of fric-tion and strain on the valve gear. This is the Youngvalve and gear, the invention of Mr. O. W. Young ofChicago. The results obtained by the practical use ofthis valve on one of the engines of the Chicago &Northwestern Railway, especially during the past PISTON VALVES AND BALANCED VALVES 189 year, seem to warrant the conclusion that it has many;meritorious features, and that a bright future liesbefore it. A general idea of the construction of the valves, andthe wrist plate by which they are operated, may be^obtained by reference to Fig. 94, which is a sectionallelevation showing the steam and exhaust ports, and asectional view of the two valves, one for each end ofthe cylinder. The arrows clearly indicate the coursejof the steam in its passage into, and out of, ^\\\\\\\\\\\w^^ ^\\\\N\\\N\N^^^^ Figure 93
