@robertgift I didn't want to waste anyone's time so I was aiming for the shortest version.

There is always a replay button. Unless you think it should include more details or different angles.

Thanks.

Okay, so here's a question. What's the function of that backward-L-shaped arm thing on the far right, just to the left of the cylinder? I get what everything else does, except that.

[allesmedvesek]

@JETZcorp This backward L shaped thing consists of combination lever (vertical part) and union link. I think it is suppose to improve timing of control valve. (and therefor efficiency). It also make the valve move a little when radius rod is set in neutral position. But I am not know for sure. Ask Google for more information.

@JETZcorp the cut away video model, it does nothing. this video, it's on the arm, not direct connected so it has a gearing effect, just a little bit, lessening how far the valve gear moves

There's a beautiful simplicity about this gear...

This is my only video about Walschaerts valve gear for now.

(I did also a folding chair, but it is not so interesting)

Thank you.
