The Weber Gas and Gasoline Engine
The engines of the Weber Gas and Gasoline Engine Company are of the four-cycle compression type, with poppet valves operated by direct push-rods and cams on the reducing-gear, which is enclosed with the governor in an iron box, partly filled with oil, which insures perfect lubrication of the gear and keeps out dust. The horizontal styles are made in ten sizes, from 18 to 100 H. P., of the style as shown in Fig. 170.
In their latest style of engine (Fig. 170) the main exhaust is through ports in the cylinder opened by the piston at the termination of the stroke, with a supplementary exhaust valve in the cylinder head operated by a lever and push-rod. The timing-valve is operated by a lever pivoted on the cylinder, in contact with an adjustable push-block on the inlet-valve push-rod.
In the later designs of the Weber many improvements have been introduced to facilitate easy starting and for adapting it for pumping water for irrigation, for which purpose it is well suited and largely used. Its adaptation for the use of kerosene and heavy petroleum oils, and also for crude petroleum, has made it a very useful motive power for agricultural work. |
