The parts are then lowered down as far as they will go, or until there is contact between the piston and the lower head, and anothef mark is made on the guide corresponding to that on the crosshead. The distance between these is then taken, and from it is subtracted the length of stroke. The remainder is then divided between the two clearances, top and bottom. Midway between the two inner points a point may be placed to indicate the location for mid or half stroke. Thus, if the stroke is 36 inches and the distance found as above is 37 inches, the 1 inch difference is to be divided between the two clearances, giving to the upper, say, 7-16, and to the lower 9-16 inch. These differences are then laid off within the outside marks, and the points thus given will serve at any time as a guide for the adjustment regarding clearance proper, while the movement of the piston may be readily brought to conform to these limits by suitable adjustment of the liners or chock pieces in the joints and bearings of the connecting rod and crank-shaft. The 36 inches may then be divided equally and the mark placed to show mid stroke, such a point being sometimes of use in connection with the setting of the valve. Another method of determining the clearance which is available when the cylinders have manholes is as follows: The manholes are removed and a number of balls of stiff red lead or other putty and faced with plumbago are distributed on the top of the piston and on the inside of the lower head. The engine is then given a revolution by means of the turning engine and the balls are collected. This method serves to show just how the clearance is distributed, and is ther...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...the value of C for the plane of compact form being taken at '66. The author has been influenced in this partly by the fact that in all probability Dines' results are nearer the truth than those of Professor Langley, but more particularly by the consideration that when instituting a comparison it is safer to confine one's attention to the work of a single investigator, and Langley's experiments with the normal plane were not carried far enough to give the information required. For general employment in the subsequent volume (" Aerodromics ") the value of C is taken as 7, which is the result given by Langley for a plane of square form and corresponds with the result given by Dines for a plane 4x1. In adopting this value it has been borne in mind that it is desirable to have a general average figure that can be used with safety without specifying the exact form of the plane, and, taking C as 7, it will not matter seriously whether Langley's or Dines' result should ultimately prove to be the nearer to the truth. CHAPTER VI. THE INCLINED AEROPLANE. § 144. Introductory. Present State of Knowledge.--The problem presented by the inclined aeroplane is of very great complexity, and no general solution has at present been found. Our knowledge of the behaviour of the plane inclined to its direction of motion is in the main confined to the immediate results of experiment, extended it may be by the drawing of smooth curves through the observed points plotted on a co-ordinate chart. In certain extreme cases theoretical solutions have been found, and in other instances empirical formulse have been proposed, in fairly close agreement with the results on which they are based. In addition to the considerations that weigh in the case of the normal plane, we have...
