pressure engines may require an expenditure of severalhorse-powers. In recent times, therefore, we have evenshort slides for high-pressure engines, similar to the longWatt slide, so that the steam may not press upon one sideonly. The arrangement of such an equilibrium valve (Fr.tiroir equihbre;… … cylinder of a water-pressure engine, and the steam slideA B is in like manner essentially a union of two pistonsA A and B B with a hollow piston rod A B. The steam,entering at D, the steam chest, not only fills the space Cand E at both ends of the slide, but also the inner space S,and presses the…
