Description |
Diagram of a Siamese or double cylinder steam engine. The text accompanying the diagram in the original source is as follows: "There are two cylinders, A and B, and two piston-rods, a and b. These rise and fall simultaneously, carrying with them the large crosshead C D in the form of the letter T. The part E F descends between the two cylinders, the sides of which serve as a guide, so that the guide block F is compelled to move perpendicularly, and so preserve the parallelism of the piston rod. To F is attached the connecting rod FG, which moves round the crank G H, carrying the main shaft H." |
