To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
20I bottom end of this cylinder is considerably later than the steam valve for the top end. The point at which steam was cut o;ff is a little longer on the bottom than on the top, but the top end of the cylinder makes the best use of the steam. The release in this case is early, so that a good vacuum is obtained at the very commencement of the stroke, which is held all the way through. A ' very considerable loss is made as between the realized and theoret- ical from the pressure at A, A', which... would amount to some hun- dreds of horse-power. The dia- gram from the top of this cylinder gives 4675.25 horse-power, from the bottom 4528.68. There is one point with refer- ence to the compound cylinders that must be noticed : the practice is becoming very common of run- ning the low-pressure with the highest vacuum that can be ob- tained. In this case the tempera- ture runs from 236** to about 120®, and it is fair to suppose that a certain amount of condensation is effected every time the cylinder is filled with steam after having ex- hausted through the condenser.
