The volt is not a measure of current (alternating or otherwise).  (Current is measured in amps.) The proper term is "volts AC" or 'VAC."  I realize it...

called the valve stem. So, is there another name, less ambiguous, for the piece of equipment being discussed in this article? (Even reversing the words...

is a valve gear invented by a man named Walschaerts, so if anything could be said to have a proper name, it probably ought to be "Walschaerts valve gear"...

The Baker traction engines used the Baker center-hung reverse valve gear, Baker balance valve and seat, adjustable boxes for rear axles, and the Baker...

reverse), there is a relief valve that provides another option to the compressed gas. -If it vents to atmosphere, it is a blowoff valve or dump valve...

I've put the various valve gears in their own category. Please add future pages (e.g. for Young etc.) in category:Locomotive valve gear and do not add...

water droplets at supersonic velocities passing thru the repeatedly reversing valve path in the PORV. This is the primary cause of the PORV failures, this...

made considerable difference to the valve travel (not to mention die slip). What an idea then to make the reverser bell-crank give slight multiplication...

IP poster from Czech Republic which labelled the motion as "Allan-Trick" valve gear. It was not summarised or sourced, but there is such a system, from...

Does flipping the valve really reverse the flow in parts of the system? Diagram at top has the north port as out-flow and south port as in-flow but diagram...

Some people call them thermostatic expansion valves, some call them thermal expansion valves. The title says thermal, while the text (used to) say thermostatic...

spacing of cranks. So was that information factually incorrect for Gresley valve gear equipped locos in general, or merely not true of the UP9000 locomotive...

cut-off is not even the primary purpose of the reversing mechanism, and that the means by which the Valve gear is controlled is therefore a separate issue...

required to move a reverse tainter valve from 90% open to 100% open is always significantly higher for a dry valve than a submerged valve in operation, as...

pump' and 'vapor-compression refrigeration' are the same. Assuming reversing-valves and heat exchanger optimization are addressed in the surviving article...

cylinder halves on either side of the piston when the sliding valve is in the forward or reverse position. The movement of the steam piston is transferred...

cylinder back down to greater depth can provide sufficient reverse pressure. The upstream valve that he was diving with ("I prefer it because it doesn't...

chamber. The exhaust valve is deeply recessed in a pocket containing most of the chamber volume, and the much longer intake valve is nearly flush with...

fellow Wikipedians, I have just added archive links to one external link on Valve Anti-Cheat. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}}...
