It can be determinedby multiplying the pressure on the piston by the length of the crank, and divid-ing the product by the length of the connecting-rod, which will be the stresstending to separate the guides.… … Fig. 810 stroke is 2J to 1. When a portion of the force of the steam is opposed directlyto the resistance, as in direct-acting pumps, and only the irregularities in the steam-pressure are transmitted through the connect-ing-rods, the proportion of rod to stroke may be stillsmaller. Fig. 810 is the…
