These surfaces are ofthe simplest possible form and are easily fitted up in thelathe. In order that they may come to a bearing with cer-tainty, and without regard to the position of the spindlerelatively to the valve, they are made with a longitudinalslit into which fits, without jamming, the blade of the rock-shaft. The valves are thus allowed to come to a bearing,and even to wear down in their seats without causing next Fig. shows the arrangement of this valve asseen in longitudinal section of the chest.
