Diagram No. 2, Fig. 3, showsthe valve ellipse for full gear plotted from the kinematic dia-gram. There are tliree points to be noted. (1) That the portis fully opened when the piston has traveled 14 per cent, of itsstroke and that this occurs so rapidly that the effect of pre-admission due to the ;4 inch lead is practically eliminated.

(2) Connect up the valve gear and both main rods,the dead centers as usual. (3) To Place the Eccentric Crank in Its Profer Relation tothe Main Crank,—The reverse lever can be at any position dur-ing this adjustment. Catch either dead center and from a poinfnear the front end of the eccentric rod make a tram mark on
