reveal themethod, by relying upon more or less throttling of the in-coming charge under all conditions of load, even the maxi-mum, and by thereby securing an expansion to a volumegreater than the initial when the latter is measured atatmospheric pressure. The percentage-fraction of thestroke at… … load it is only 68%. At the same time, the clearance ismade less than usual (only about 21.5%) so that the properdegree of compression is retained. The reduced pressureduring suction, due to the throttling by the governor, andthe work lost thereby, could be shown (without confusionof lines) only in…
