Valve-Gear
|
Charles J. Pilloid |
Angola, Steuben County, IN |
Claim:
Our invention relates to a variable cut-off and reversing valve gear for locomotives and all classes of steam, air or other gas driven engines and has for its object to provide an efficient valve gear of the kind that is adapted to produce free admission at the beginning and free release at the end of each stroke, that is adapted to operate the valve to produce equal cut-off from each end of the cylinder at any desired distance of piston travel to which the gear is adjusted by the reach rod, and that when applied to locomotives or traction engines is unaffected by the lateral vibration produced by running over tracks or uneven surfaces. |
