Excerpt from The Lay-Out of Corliss Valve Gears
It is surprising that a mechanism so widely used as the Corliss valve gear has never been adequately treated from a theoretical point of view. This volume is an attempt to partially supply the deficiency. An endeavor is made to completely treat the "single eccentric" motion from a rational standpoint. A complete discussion is given of the theoretical principles underlying the kinematic design or "lay-out" as it is commonly called. This is followed by explicit directions for making a lay-out on the drawing-board. The methods given are rational and may be used by any one. The methods hitherto in use have been "rules of thumb," and only give good results in the hands of designers of considerable experience.
