The slide-valve spindle is attached to the double lever K at an intermediatepoint I, as in the plan, Fig. 1445. 7U HYDEAULICS. The effect of this arrangement is that when water is admitted into the lower cylinder by adownward movement of the reversing handle raising the slide-valve, Fig. 1447, the hydraulic ramsare then moved in an upward direction, carrying with them the weigh-shaft lever D, Fig. 1444, andreversing the engines accordingly, and by the same movement the stud joint J upon the weigh-shaftis lowered, and closes the valve again, so that the two hydraulic rams are then held fast in whateverposition they may be placed. This counteracting cut-off enables the engineer at once, to placethe reversing links of the main engines at any degree of expansion, and hold them the
