" Compound " Engines, Tandem, Cross, Triple, or Quadruple. The valve gear is of the most approved pattern; an independent and separate valve controls each port, and is so placed that a short passage leads with the least amount of waste room to the piston; the exhaust valves, from their position, drain the water from the cylinder. The steam valves are so constructed that they act as relief valves in certain cases, and the valves themselves are solid castings from end to end, and separate from the driving stem The valve stems are made of Deoxidized Phosphor Bronze, as are also the trunnions, glands, shoes and springs, and the stems are made interchangeable. The wrist plate motion opens the steam valves quickly, giving boiler pressure at closest cut-off, and kept in motion up to the point of extreme travel, permitting the point of cut-off to be exactly determined and disengagements effected positively. Both the steam and exhaust valves are given a peculiar dwell movement where it is most needed. The reversal of the valves is bought about without shock, the movement being so easy from a state of rest to a rapid motion, and that without straining the connections, the wear and tear of moving parts - as light as they sometimes are made - is scarcely perceptible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Th

Rice & Sargent Corliss Engine The Eclipse Corliss Engine Group Classic Engineering Thanks, Guys! I have a few "books" to write, but there's not enough time in a day! As to the work, yes, it's a big undertaking. Keep in mind, Steve was full time on this. I worked Saturdays and some vacation days, and evenings making missing parts and researching. Since the first couple of years, others have joined in, some are regulars, some come and go, but it really helps to have a club or team approach to this. Going into this, I knew it was going to involve a big commitment. I was working on some 7-1/4" gage live steam railroading projects, and building my home shop with side jobs, in between raising 5 kids. The kids were pretty much out of the nest, so it made room for this, but I still had to balance this with my home life and a business. What won out was the chance to work with the actual real thing, not a model or a replica. It had to be preserved, as a piece of steam history, as a piece of local history, and the story had to be told. It literally was dropped in our laps to do. At every turn of the project, the right amount of money or materials would appear in the nick of time. Every time we couldn't get an approval, someone came through with an alternative to keep the project alive. I will probably never know how many friends we had working behind the scenes on our behalf. While no one could accuse me of being overly devout, I do believe in God and I do believe he likes steam engines, because there could be no other explanation for the amazing good fortune that has accompanied this project. So, I'd say this to anyone that finds himself in a similar position: Find a group of like mind friends in your area and just go do it. Don't be intimidated. Like building a model, it happens one operation at a time, before you know it, you've got a few hundred operations behind you and it starts to come together. As an unavoidable side effect, you get an education. When I
