Seite 339 - ... cylinders driven by the air of the large blowing engine. These small cylinders, when driving the shafting only, sometimes attained a velocity of upwards of 200 revolutions per minute, suggesting the idea of the possibility of reversing their motion and taking in the air in place of blowing it out through them : .there was, however, a difficulty in the slide-valve, which did not open and shut fast enough.
