Text Appearing Before Image:
CI00CO H 0 (D P. I r ) 13 Pattern of 1882. .ir Here is shown a * new departure for Air Compressors. The PoppetInlet Valves are removed and one Inlet Valve of the well-known Corliss A^ Steam Engine pattern is placed in each head of the Intake Cylinder. Thisimprovement does away with much trouble with the little Poppet Valves, andfurthermore insures the full supply of air at every stroke. The Valves areopened and shut by a connection with the main engine shaft, and no vacuum m or pressure in the Air Cylinder is needed to insure their proper working. 14
Text Appearing After Image:
• (000(D 0 u0 I. 15 1 Pattern of 1883. In this is retained the Corliss Valve which was so successful in the patternof the previous year. The connections are made more direct by employing awrought iron return crank attached to the main crank pin. The removableAir Hoods are here shown which connect the Inlet Valves with the Cool AirA Conduit beneath the floor, and leads the cold air from outside the engine roomto the Compressor. This plan is far preferable to pumping the hot air of theengine room, and secures a saving of about one per cent, for every five degreeslower temperature obtained. The cut illustrates a Compressor with Intake Air Cylinder 26 inches boreand 50 inches stroke. We build this same style with Intake Air Cylinder 32 inches bore and :^6inches stroke. \6
