TANDEM COMPOUND ENGINE, BUCKEYE ENGINE CO. Engines may be divided into two general classes,viz., simple and compound. A simple engine may be either condensing or non-condensing, but its leading characteristic is, that thesteam is used in but one cylinder, and from thence it isexhausted either into the atmosphere or into a con-denser. A compound engine is one in which the steam ismade to do work in two or more cylinders before it isallowed to exhaust, and this class of engine may beeither condensing- or non-condensing;.
