The engine illustrated has a nominal capacity of 750 horse-power. The Wells Balanced Compound-Engine, made by the Wells Engine Co., of New York, isshown in Fig. 75. It is claimed for this engine that it has a natural balance in weight of thetwo pistons, and their connections, at all angles of the cranks and at all speeds; also a balanceof steam pressures. Equal weight being attached to opposite sides of the crank-shaft movingin opposite directions (in the same plane), the thrust of one is perfectly counteracted by thatof the other. Steam is admitted simultaneously to the bottom of the high-pressure and to thetop of the low-pressure cylinders, and viee versa. The force on one cylinder-head is counter-acted bv an e
