Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . steam distribution in balanced compound cylinders Figure 135 and between the two cylinders which they are arrangedto control. A separate set of guides and connectionsis required for each cylinder. COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVES 30: H J2JO M ? w • > 9 * o d Q O od tt. «04 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING The two high-pressure cylinders being placed insidethe frames, the pistons are necessarily coupled to acrank axle. The low-pressure pistons are coupled tocrank-pins on the outside of the driving wheels. Thtcranks on the axle are set at 90 ° with each other, andat 1800 with the corresponding crank-pins in thewheels. The pistons therefore travel in the oppositedirection, and the reciprocating parts act against, andbalance each other to the extent of their correspond-ing weight. The distribution of steam is shown in theaccompanying diagram (Fig. 135)- The live steamport in this design is centrally located between theinduction ports of the high-pressure cylinder. Steamenters the high-pressure cylinder through the steamport and the central external cavity in the valve. Theexhaust from the high-pressure cylinders takes placethrough the opposite steam port to 4he interior of thevalve, which acts as a receiver. The outer edges ofthe valve control the admission of
