In all cases the receiver engine has the characteristicadvantage ov^er the Woolf type that the low-pressure cylinder need notreceive steam during the whole of the working stroke, but may have adefinite point of cut-off, and work in an expansive cj^cle. The dis-tribution of work between the two cyhnders, as will be shown, maybe adjusted by varying the point of cut-off on the low-pressure cyhnder(Art. 467). Receiver volumes vary from J to IJ times the high-pressure cyhndervolume. 464^. Reheating. A considerable gain in economy is attained bydrying or superheating the steam during its passage through the. WITHOUT REHEATERS AND JACKETS
