The practical application of the slide valve and link motion to stationary, portable, locomotive, and marine engines : with new and simple methods for proportioning the parts
A steam-engineering manual by William Stuart Auchincloss, published by Van Nostrand in New York in 1870, written for machinists and engine designers laying out slide valves and link motions. The plates are line-engraved geometric constructions: valve circles, eccentric throws, angular measurements in degrees, dashed construction lines, and lettered points, usable as sources of technical diagram vocabulary and circular motion schematics.
