Abstract
THIS little pamphlet of sixty-five pages, forming volume No. 2 of the “Model Engineer Series,” was originally intended to help the author's railway students towards the attainment of clear general notions upon the subject of the slide valve. The author conceived the idea of using on a base-board a rotary disc to represent a crankshaft, together with the idea of obtaining concentric circular diagrams of results, by using a crank-arm marked on the disc as an index-finger, and recording on the base-board the beginnings and ends of the arcs swept out by the crank in the various distribution-periods.
