Summary
Description Steeple engine.jpg |
English:
Steeple engine. The explanation accompanying the illustration is as follows: "At
a
is the condenser, constituting the base of the [engine] cylinder
b
. The cross-head
c
of the piston-rod, instead of being parallel to the shaft, as is usual, stands at right angles to it; and from the ends of the cross-head rise two rods
d d
, which are connected at top, forming with the cross-head a triangle. Through the apex of this triangle passes a pin, the ends of which work in guides
e
, to cause the piston-rod to preserve a parallel motion. The connecting-rod
f
is suspended from the central part of the pin, and the lower extremity is connected to the crank
g
, which revolves within the triangle."
Note that in this type of engine, the connecting rod rotates neatly within the triangular crosshead assembly.
