Let the whole of the steam be taken at 100 lb., then, by ascertaining the proportion which the lines a, b, and c, in the direction of those parts bear to each other, it will be seen that, at the first division, the force in the direction of the circle is only 31 per cent, of the force on the piston ; at the second division it will be found to amount to () 59 per cent; at the third to () 81 per cent.; at the
