Everything you ever wanted to know about Skinner engines, their valves, valve gears, etc.. Really nice engine design. Reproduction of a fully illustrated 1953 Skinner brochure.
Wonder how much of this (if any) can be applied to steam cars? The compound feature is probably out for cars; indicator card shows very little work in the LP stage even at full load. Maybe two of those nice valves at each end of each double-acting cylinder, for counterflow inlet and exhaust?
