Another slotted chamber in theexternal surface of the working cylin-der leads from reduction ports through the cylinder, and terminates in a channel leading tothe atmosphere through the head of the cylinder. The piston is made long and fits fluid-tight, but with a minimum of friction in the cylinder. In the piston, but working transverse-ly through it, is a piston-valve, which is worked by the pressure of air admitted throughthe port in the side of the cylinder and exhausted through other ports in the same manner asthe piston-valves of some steam-pumps, the proper ports in the cylinder being covered anduncovered bv the motion of the piston. The valve consists of a cylindrical plug having twogrooves formed therein with a collar between them, and fits in a cylindrical transverse seat inthe piston, and covers and uncovers, at proper intervals, admission and exhaust ports leading. \ir-tool. 23 ALARMS.
