To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the mean velocity of the engine, as long as the pro- duction of steam be supposed^ the same in the boiler. If, in fact, the rising stroke of the piston be performed in a longer time, since^the issue of the steam by the cylinder takes place only during the descending strokes, it will happen that the suc- cessive interruptions thus made in the efflux of the steam, will be so much the longer. But, since the production of steam per minute in the boiler is a fixed and determinate quantity, and that ...its issue by the cylinder will now be found suspended during a longer time, the steam during that interval will accumulate in the boiler. At the beginning then of the descending stroke, there will be a greater quantity ready to be applied to the effecting of the motion ; and it will consequently supply a velocity in that stroke by so much the greater. The velo- city, therefore, of the descending stroke will aug- ment as that of the rising stroke diminishes. If, on the contrary, the rising stroke is performed more rapidly, the steam will accumulate in a smaller quantity during the interval of the rising strokes, and will in consequence afford a smaller supply of steam, that is to say, a less velocity of the piston, during the descending stroke.
