Many of our builders prefer the slide valve to the piston valve as It la easier to make and maintain steam tight than the regular platon valve. There are special drawings to go with this cylinder block which show the valve gear details clearly dimensioned, so that you can apply the cylinder to any of our 3/4" scale locomotive chassis, or to your own design of running gear.

This eliminate machining the vertical splice Joint which must be done In the case cyllngers. Then too, considerable work Is also eliminated due to al exhaust passages being "cored" or oast In. There is no drilling of „ exhaust passages. These are of ample size to allow culck entry and quick ex- , haust for snappy performance. Due to the number of cores that have to be made ard ■ set during the moulding process, and to the fine, close grained, easy to machine < Meehanlte Iron, the cost of the cylinders Is somewhat higher than If the core t work were eliminated. However, we wish to sell the best possible cylinder block, ■ and we know you will be as pleased with this high grade cylinder as so many of our customers are who have written us high praise of this fine example of moulders' CYLINDER CASTING F?831-A 5/4" Scale Castings 12 3/4" Scale Castings CYLINDERS FOR PISTON VALVES CYLINDER HEADS CYLINDER HEAD COVERS REAR NO 7832NO 7826 A FRONT NO 7831 CROSSHEAD CYLINDER BUSHING NO 78268 STEAM CHESTS FOR "D" SLIDE VALVES BE LOW IS HOW THEY APPEAR WITH STEAM CHESTS APPLIED STEAM CHEST CYLINDER HEAPS FIT BOTH VALVE CHAMBER BUSH.

The latter has a window at the rear which admits light from the back and makes for easy reading. The packing nuts on each end draw down sleeves which in turn force the neoprene packing washers against shoulders in the ends of the tube case, bringing the washers into a steam proof seal against the glass tube. The sleeves are threaded 10-32 making easy connection to the boiler back head and gives ample circulation for accurate reading. These gauges have given excellent service.

The macnlnlng operations are simple and fully covered by the prints and text matter In a manner easily understood. The Shape of the gauge Is in keeping with full size practice and presents a fine appearance among the other boiler fittings In the cab. This gauge Is suitable ior 3/4 and 1" gauge engines.

Good workmanship Is essential to success, but when once rightly made and operating, they are a fine means of getting water Into a boiler. The feed water being preheated In the Injector as the steam supply to the injector strikes the feed water and condenses giving up some of Its heat and all of Its velocity to force the water into the boiler. There are no mov ing parts In the Injector, and they are a most Interesting little device to make being based on scientific principles. See line drawing on page 13 cast ing Number 7849.

Frings, materials and instructions cover the subject thoroughly. These lubricators are in tended to be connected to steam lines as close to the steam chest as pos sible and work on the hydrostatic principle. That Is, when the engine is running under steam, some of the steam enters the lubricator through the oil pipe and condences In the lubricator, and the resultant water drops to the bottom of the lubricator and displaces the oil at the top, forcing It to flow Into the cylinder, or steam chest, through the same pipe that Is used to admit steam to the lubricator. These lubricators are used only with non-superheated steam.

The bore of steam cylinder of this pump is 1/2" in diameter with a 5/8" stroke and the single acting pump piston is 1/4" In diameter and the maximum number of strokes Is 200 per minute and at this rate the output la .229 cubic inches of water per minute or a little under 1/4" pint of water. The pump as sembly can be mounted either In vertical or horizontal position by setting the check valve to work In a vertical position. The STEAM DRIVEN FEED WATER PUMPS 'FOR SUPPLYING FEED WATER TO ALL TYPES OF MINIATURE BOILERS By: Martin 8. Lewis driven pilrop with two double acting water pistons. The steam cyl inder bores are 1/2" with stroke of 5/8“ and the water pistons are 3/8" bore by 5/8" stroke. Valve gear Is through pilot valve and main valve. This pump Is Intended for operation in a vertical pos ition only and at 200 strokes per minute (maximum). The out put Is 1-3/4" pints oer minute, or per 200 strokes.

By turning the check valves In the pump to work vertically,, the pump assembly may be Installed In a vertical position. The valve action Is through pilot controlled main valve. The bore of the steam cylinder is 3/8" in diameter and the stroke 3/8"; the water piston Is 3/16" In diameter with a 3/8" stroke. Overall dimensions are 3-1/4" long and 1-1/8" wide.

This pump is for mounting In an upright position only. The steam passages are cored from steam ports to ends of the cylinder and main valve is actuated by a pilot valve. The overall length of this pump assembly Is 5-1/2“ and the width Is 2-1/2". The price of this pump may seem high, but this is because of the work In volved In moulding, due to the coring work on the steam ports.

This lubricator of the displacement type was designed with a steam sup ply direct from the boiler Instead of depend ing on the steam from branch pipes so that the lubricator will supply the valves and cylinders . with oil at all times, whether the throttle is open?ra| or the engine standing. This feature Insures having the oil ready for the cylinders from the start instead of having the valve and pistons running without oil until enough steam has passed from branch pipes to condense in the lubricator. In other words, this lubricator is independent of the throttle so that when you are getting up Siz steam, just open the steam valve in the line lead- ai Ing from boiler to lubricator and condensation takesca place In the lubricator at once. Just before start-^ Ing the engine, open the lubricator and oil starts to flow at once to the valve and cylinders. Piston valves especially need this oil from the start to avoid running with dry valves and pistons. A check valve is provided to stop any back flow of oil into boiler if the lubricator steam valve should happen to be left open when the engine ’ the run.
