The valve is the device which admits steam to, andallows it to exhaust from the cylinder of every steamengine. The form of valve having a flat seat uponwhich it slides backward and forward is termed aslide valve. The slide valve was used as a meansof distributing steam in a cylinder before the loco-motive was invented, and has ever since been an im-portant factor therein. *
