Image Description:
The Sioux City Corliss Engine, of the tandem compound class, is shown in perspective in Fig. 44. Fig. 45 is a half-section of the cylinder, showing that the steam is taken between not over the valves, and that the exhaust-chamber is cast separate and independent from the cylinder, thereby preventing a cold, wet steam-jacket. The steam-valves are all made so as to relieve themselves in case of water. Pig. 46 shows the hook-motion valve-gear, Fig. 47 the dash, and Fig. 48 the governor, which has light balls made to run at three times the speed of the engine, and a heavy sliding weight.
