The Ide Engine is of the same class with all the enginesdescribed in the preceding section—a high-speed engine,intended to be driven up to high power and to occupysmall compass; to regulate with all the accuracy desired in ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANTS. 149 electric lighting, and in the spinning of fine cotton; to havegood wearing qualities, and to be economical in its use ofsteam and of fuel. The illustrations exhibit its generalform, and the more important details of the Examining it in some detail, it will be observed that theframe, although of novel design, is of the same general formwith those which have been already described in this class, ISO STEAM ENGINES FOR possessing that solidity and rigidity that have been seen tote an essential feature of all successful high-speed main pillow-blocks are formed in the frame; and theCylinder is secured at the opposite end, overhanging as in
