The high-pressure cylinders are cast without saddles, andare bolted and keyed to the upper and lower rails of the rear set of frames. The steam entersfrom the outside steam pipe, whichconnects just inside of the valvechest, and passes through coredpassages to the valve. It exhaustsfrom an opening on the inside, be-tween the frames, into the receiverpipe, which extends forward be-tween the frames to the low-pressurecylinders. This receiver pipe isshown in one of the illustrations,and it can be seen that it has a balljoint, whose center is in exact linewith the center of the articulatedconnection. It is made up of five.
