The secondary valve-gear begins with the hand-lever 10, pivoted at B, which moves the valve-rod 13 by means of the floating lever 12. This gear is of the self-centerinf^; tyipe; as lever 10 is thrown to one side or the other, it carries point C with it, moving the small piston-valves; but as the piston on ro...d 9 moves the rocker 7, the rod GF brings back the lower end of lever 12 so as to return the valve to mid-position. The farther 10 is moved, the farther will the pistons move before the valves 426 GOVERNORS OR REGULATORS. [Chap.X. come to the holding-position. Cylinder II. acts as a brake and dash-pot, to keep the mechanism from moving too fast and to bring it more or less quietly to rest, and as a holding device, to keep it in the desired position — ^for which purpose an elastic fluid is not effective.
