It consists of a pair ofpivoted weights, one of which is shown separately at A^having inclined jaws, in which slide two blocks. Theseblocks turn freely on a boss upon the pendulum, shown onB, to which the eccentric is attached, and which is free toswing across the shaft. The pendulum is pivoted in such away that while the cut-off changes from five-eighths to zerothe steam-lead does not vary. The inclination of the jawsin the weights is such that, through the action of friction,their position is not influenced by the action of the valve STEAM ENGINES FOR.
