SEE S COMPOUND ENGINE. The drawings herewith show an arrangement of valves forcompound engines covered by patent No. 469,455, issued toHorace See, of New York, the well-known marine shown, it is applied to an ordinary compound engine, but itis equally well adapted to a triple-expansion or quadruple-ex-pansion engine. In the drawings fig. i shows in side elevation a vertical com-pound engine with cylinders tandem, ihe steam-chests beingshown in vertical cross-section, exposing the main valves toview. Fig. 2 shows in plan the relative arrangements of thecylinders and their steam-chests and the exhaust-pipe connect-ing the two steam-chests. The letter-J indicates the high pressure cylinder ; B, the low-pressure cylinder, of a large diameter ; C, the piston-rod whichconnects the respective pistons of said cylinders, and D, the. SEES COMPOUND ENGINE. continuation of said rod, or the low-pressure piston-rod passingthrough the bottom of cylinder B and secured to the cross-head E. The usual connecting-rod between said cross headand the crank T is omitted as unnecessary to the illustration ofthe invention. The two cylinders are tied together by the topframes F axi& by the exhaust-pipe F, which pipe connects therespective steam chests a b oi the two cylinders A B. Thehousing or frames F support the cylinders and all of the super-structural parts above said frames. The piston-valves c r/ateof the usual form of piston-valve, and their valve-stems// areconnected by valve-rods ^^, respectively, to arms secured onopposite sides of the beam or rock-ihaft G. To one end or arm of said beam or rock shaft is articulated a rod, //, whichat its opposite or lower end is also articulated to the eccentric-rod K, secured in the usual manner by a strap to the eccentric/; on the main shaft
