10 pounds absolute, thenthe total expansions will be about 10. If the ratio of thecylinders is 3^, then the high-pressure cut-off will be about - = 3£ -=- IO = O.35 e of the stroke. Low-pressure Cut-off.—The cut-off of the low-pressurecylinders in Figs. 56 and 57 is controlled by the ratio of… … were lengthened there would be a loss of pressure or drop at the end of the stroke of the high-pressure piston, as is shown by Fig. 61, for an engine with a large receiver and no clearance. Such a drop will have some effect on the character of the expansion line CE of the low-pressure cylinder,…
