Stationary steam engines, simple and compound; especially as adapted to electric lighting purposes . orts are so placed as to prevent the cuttingaway of the faces and seats by the rushing currents of valve and cylinder ports are not dressed out; thecasting is made so accurately that these edges can be left asthey come out of the sand without loss of efficiency in theworking of the valve. The valve is driven by an eccentric, the motion of whichis controlled by the governor, and the connection of whichwith the valve is effected by the peculiar system of linking,seen in the preceding illustration. The eccentric is so sus-pended from the disc, to which it is attached, that it maybe thrown across the shaft by the action of the governor, insuch a manner as to give the effect of the once commonand well known Dodd motion. It is carried on a lever,which is pivoted at one side of the shaft, while the governorrod is attached at the opposite side. The singular positionsof the eccentric rod and the rockshaft arm enable thealteration of the throw of the eccentric produced by o H > W W.
