Engines furnished for condensing op-eration are equipped with the automatic by-passvalves, shown in section, to prevent undiie com-pression in the cylinder due to loss of will be noted that the construction is ofthe simplest possible form and the automatic op-eration of the by-pass valves is entirely con-trolled by existing conditions in the exhaustbelt of the engine. These conditions being com-municated from the exhaust-belt of the engine .
