Cushioning the Reciprocating Parts of Steam Engines
This topic has already passed through a wide range of discussion by steam engineers and steam engine builders, and any effort to harmonize views variously entertained would probably be futile. It is, however, only of late years that the matter has been presented as a problem, many engineers and engine builders at the present time ignoring formulae entirely, and resorting to the direct method of adjusting the cushion by experiment, that is, as in slide valve engines, the inside (exhaust) lap and advance of eccentric are varied until the motion of the engine satisfies the requirements of a smooth action.
