therefrom. In order to do this, multiply theuncorrected rate by the distance from D to E, whichis iyi in., or 3.125 in., and divide the product by thedistance from D to C, 3^ in., or 3.25 in. Thus,24.99 x 3.125 - 3.25 - 24.03 lbs., which is the correctedrate and represents a saving by compression… … Figure 109 compression curve to L, a point equidistant from thevacuum line with the terminal at R. The consumptionline R. L. now becomes longer than the stroke lineR. M.; therefore the corrected rate will exceed theancorrected rate by just so much; as, for instance,erminal pressure = 34 lbs. The…
