Sinopsis

Master the practical art of setting steam valves with a clear, process-focused guide.

This nonfiction guide walks you through the fundamentals of slide valves, explains lead and steam lap, and shows how these ideas affect admission, exhaust, and compression. It covers diagrams, valve travel, and the operation of main and cut‑off valves, with attention to how different engine types are set up and balanced.

You’ll find straightforward explanations, step‑by-step setting procedures, and real‑world context for engines such as Corliss and Buckeye, along with how governors and valve gear interact to control performance. The book emphasizes practical methods that engineers and technicians can apply to tune efficiency and smooth operation.


  • Plain definitions of lead, lap, and valve travel and how they influence engine action

  • How to read and use indicator-like diagrams to verify proper timing

  • Step‑by‑step instructions for setting the main and cut‑off valves

  • Discussion of valve gear, balance pistons, and quick admission/ release for high‑speed engines



Ideal for readers of steam‑engine maintenance and retrofits, this guide suits students, engineers, and technicians who work with or study valve settings.

Excerpt from Valve Setting: Simple Methods of Setting the Plain Slide Valve, Meyer Cut-Off, Corliss, and Poppet Types

Supervising, operating, and erecting engineers have long felt the need of a book giving simple, practical instructions in the setting of valves for all kinds of engines. Power has from time to time published articles covering the leading types, and this book is based on the material contributed for this series.

In the main, the articles are secured from builders or erecting men who are familiar with the practical work involved, and in every case the work has been passed upon and approved by the builders.

Recognizing the fact that the fundamental principles of all valve design are contained in the slide valve movement, the first three chapters of this book are given to a study of this subject. Afterwards a general idea of the Meyer valve movement is given and then the Corliss.

In Chapter IV, written by the compiler of this book, are given general rules for finding crank and eccentric centers which can be applied to any make of reciprocating engine. These rules are a valuable aid in valve setting. Careful consideration of the first five chapters will enable a man to grasp any other part of the book where special makes of engines are described, and will be highly useful to any man meeting any problem in valve setting, whether described in detail in this book or not.

The compiler of this book is greatly indebted to the following men who have contributed material to Power which is embodied in this book:

E. S. Hawkins, John L. Flock, Thomas Hall, F. L. Johnson, Carl S. Dow, F. F. Nickel, Claude Aikens, and E. F. Williams.
