perfectly possible so to arrange the eccentrics that the steam may be cut off at any point that may be desired between the dead point and the position CF where the dis- tribution valve closes the cylinder port. In the case of fig. 130 this result is attained by keeping the throw and angle of advance of the eccentric represented by CE as before, and by altering the angle and throw of the o. Ther eccentric to such an extent that the diameter CG of the resul
...tant circle coincides with the direction of the line CF. It may here be noticed that in designing a Meyer valve gear it is unnecessary to give the length AC =//, fig. 129, a greater value than CG, the diameter of the resultant valve circle, for by so doing we merely admit of the possibility of the expansion valve being absolutely useless under certain conditions. This would be the case in fig. 129, for instance, whenever u had a less value than A/* 4 .
