Description: |
| "An inner cylinder that revolves on its axle is enclosed in a fixed cylinder, leaving an annual trough of cavity between their peripheries. Three partition plates, or revolving pistons, are fixed on the convex circumference of the inner cylinder; and two resisters or abutment valves are moved across the annular trough by levers attached to their spindles, and worked by the revolution of the axle. The steam is admitted between a resister and a partition plate, and the latter having the vacuous channel behind it, is carried round by the pressure of the steam, until it arrives at another resister, when the valves being reversed, the partition plate passes and proceeds onward through another portion of its course and thus continuedly. The surfaces of the cast-iron annular trough or steam channel may be lined with brass or copper, and the resisters composed of the same materials." |
