This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...of the general design is shown in Fig. 47. The high-pressure cylinder bore has been increased i in., making it 4 in., and the low-pressure also increased A in., making it 6 in. bore. The same length of stroke, viz. 6 in., is retained. The ratios of gearing between the engine and road wheels are 19'4 and 11 to 1, giving speeds of 2 9 and 5-1 miles per hour with engine running at its normal speed of 450 revolutions per minute. Fig. 48 shows a plan of the engine and gearing. The valves are of the flat balanced pattern working on renewable faces.

The second-motion shaft is in reality a fixed steel tube with the clutch operating rod working in the hollow. The compensating shaft is clearly shown in Fig. 49.

The rear axle has bearings 11 in. long and 3 i in. in diameter, the diameter of the axle beyond the bearings being 4 in. The boiler, brakes, and steering gear are the same design as on the smaller wagon. The driving wheels are 3 ft. 6 in. diameter by 10 in. face, and the steering wheels are 3 ft. diameter by 6 in. face.
