Excerpt from The Design of a Walschaert Valve Gear to Replace the Stephenson Gear of a Particular Locomotive: Thesis for Degree of Bachelor of Science in Railway Mechanical EngineeringReferring to the simple eccentric (fig. I), suppose the single eccentric OH be replaced by its component eccentrics at 90 and 180 degrees respectively with A0. Let these components be CC and od, neglecting the angularity of rods, the sum of the horizontal displacements of CC and OD with respect to O is identical with that due to the single eccentric ob. Thus the simple eccentric gear may be replaced by a gear of two eccentrics similar to the Walschaert.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
