VALVES AND VALVE MOTION 1906 RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE

DEVELOPMENT OF VALVES AND VALVE MOTION 1906 RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE ARTICLE


Two articles about valves and vale motion from 1906 editions of Railway Locomotive magazine.

 

And the follow up article from a coupe of months later.

 

I appreciate the mechanical precision and important function of steam locomotive valve gear, but the differences in Southern, Walschaerts, Baker and Stephenson gear escape me and probably always will.

 

I know what you mean.
