Locomotive text for engineers and firemen; a complete treatise on the engine, electric head-light and standard code of train rules . d is directedagainst the first row, a, of buckets, and the wheelmoves forward. This movement allows the steam topass out through the bottomless buckets of the wheel intothe series of exhaust passages h, in main casting 101, thetravel of the steam being reversed in a measure. Theseexhaust passages are so shaped that the movement of thesteam is again changed to a forward direction and dis-charged into the second row, b, of buckets, and so onuntil the final exhaust is made to central chamber E, andthence to the atmosphere. No internal lubrication is required, as this engine hasno reciprocating parts, is perfectly balanced and has nowearing surfaces. A governor similar in design to theold style centrifugal governor, which has two heavy ballscarried by the two arms, used on stationary engines, isused to control the flow of steam to the turbine wheel. The governor weights 31 (Plate 132), four in num-ber, are simple bell cranks and the connection to the THE ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT. 293. PLATE 133. wheel is made by clamp 30. The shorter end of weight31 extends beneath center piece 37 and is held down inthis position by four sets of springs 41J4. Resting with-in center piece 37 is a bronze ring 39. The ring isknown as the graphite ring, and is drilled full of holes,and these holes are then filled with graphite. Its pur-pose is to lubricate the face of the cross-arm. Both thecross-arm and the ring will wear for an indefinite 134 shows a view of cross-arm 36, connectinglink 34, governor stand 35, and bronze plungers are two governor stands, two connecting links, andthe cross-arm has two ends instead of one. Attached tothe ends of cross-arm 36 are the connecting links, and atthe other ends of these links are the governor valves orbronze plungers 38.
