It will be apparent from Fig. 130, which showsa valve on its seat moving from right to left and distant fromits central position a distance equal to the lap on the left-hand end, that it has just cut off admission from the left-hand end of the cylinder, and must move… … Fig. 130. Consequently the piston will have moved without admissionduring a period of angular motion at the end of its strokecorresponding to that required to move the valve throughtwice the lap. This is an angular motion corresponding totwice the angle whose sine is the lap. This being so,…
