To trace the March, 1898. LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. 153 action of the device, the steam may befollowed from its entrance into the steamchest, thence through the pipe F con-nected to front steam ports of the high-pressure cylinder, down through the start-ing valve into the pipe G connecting theback steam ports of the high-pressurecylinder; from this point the steam flowsthiough the exhaust cavity of the valve,directly to the front steam port of thelow-pressure cylinder. The starting valve cylinder cocks. Valves to admit air, andalso to allow relief from excessive pres-sure are shown in the high and low-pres-sure cylinders, respectively. Practical Shop Talks is the title of alittle book by Fred H. Colvin, one of ourstaff. It treats with methods of shoppractice and management in an interest-ing and humorous manner, which is sure. Fig. 2. COMPOUND—SECTION THROUGH CYLINDERS AND VALVE. is operated from the cab by a lever, andacts as a cylinder cock for the high-pres-sure cylinder, being connected to thesame lever that actuates the low-pressurecylinder cocks. When starting a trainthe valve is opened simultaneously withthe cylinder cocks, which action admitssteam to both the low and high-pressurecylinders; but the valve threeports, live steam may be admitted to thelow-pressure cylinder without opening its to find favor among all shopmen, as itpoints out its object lessons in a man-ner that is clear and convincing, as well asprovoking many a smile by the lifelikecharacters and their remarks. We aresure no one will be disappointed in thislittle work, and it can be read with bothpleasure and profit by any one who has aninkling of mechanics and who appreciateshuman nature.
