The Lambert Gas and Gasoline Engine
The engines built by the Lambert Gas and Gasoline Engine Company are all of the horizontal four-cycle type. They are scheduled in fifteen sizes, from 1 to 40 B. H. P. The valves are all of the poppet type and are operated by a secondary shaft and worm reducing-gear. The exhaust valve is opened by a lever across and under the end of the cylinder, the lever having a roller riding against a cam on the secondary shaft. The exhaust chamber (Fig. 143) has a water circulation through a jacket, and the cylinder head is also jacketed and connected, so that there can be no leak into the cylinder from the water circulation.
In Fig. 144 is shown the left side with the valve gear and location of the governor, which is driven by a bevel gear on the secondary shaft. |
