Indicator, Rijk, de Jong, 1865 indicator McNaught's indicator of steam engines consists of a tube -shaped body to which a rotating tube is attached to an arm. A string, which has been rolled around the tube at the bottom, can be attached with an end to a moving machine part, so that the tube rotates with each stroke and then reversed in its original position by the rolled up spring in the tube. A paper is attached to the tube. In the body a piston with piston rod is applied under a spring, which is moved up and down by steam or vacuum. With the tap on the underside, the body is screw

A paper is attached to the tube. In the body a piston with piston rod is applied under a spring, which is moved up and down by steam or vacuum. With the tap on the underside, the body is screwed onto the cylinder, so that the piston of the indicator is the same with the piston of the steam engine and proportionally moves up and down with the steam and vacuum pressure. instrument maker: Rotterdaminstrument maker: Rotterdamafter design by: United Kingdom brass (alloy). copper (metal). iron (metal). rope
