Figure 123 inters the steam chest at both ends, the only varia-tion from balance being area of steam at backend, an advantage in case valve or connection to 266 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING the valve-rod should be broken, as it holds themtogether. Cases are reported where compound loco-motives of this system have hauled passenger trainslong distances with broken valve-stems and brokenvalves, the parts being kept in their proper relationwhile running by the compression due to the variationmentioned. To avoid the possibility of breaking, itis the present practice to pass the valve-stem throughthe valve and secure it by a nut on the front end. Cast iron packing rings are fitted to the valve andconstitute the edges of the valve. They are pre-
