One of the interesting features of the valve gear is thevalve stem crosshead, which is of the self-centering type andis so constructed that the pin is provided with a nut. Thisis unusual in this type of crosshead, and permits the pin tobe removed without taking down the crosshead. This detailis shown in one of the illustrations.
