The main bearings are in four parts, twoof which are adjustable by wedges. These bearings areself-centering, their brasses are removable without disturb-ing the shaft, and for tying the housings together tie rodsthrough the uprights above the shaft are used instead oflips cast on the edges of the bearing caps. The cylinders are cast in halves, each containing an inletand an exhaust valve opening and a part of the water. BLAST FURNACE GAS ENGINE DIRECT-CONNECTED TO AT BESSEMER
