FIG. 20. FIG. 21. finish the diagram by drawing in the other valve circle and the two lapcircles, and laying off on the crank circle the points corresponding to theother valve movements. Problem V. Offered the cut-off, release, compression, and width ofport. It is assumed that the width of the port is equal to the maximumopening of the exhaust port, and to construct the diagram it will firstbe required to uncover the travel of the valve, which is carried out, as shown inFig. 21, by drawing a circle of indefinite radius and marking on it pointsof cut-off, release, and compression. This can readily be completed, considering that thesepoints, if provided in terms of the stroke, as explained in Chapter III,might be discovered in terms of the angle turned by way of by the crank. Jointhe points of release and compression by the line A—B and via 0draw a diameter perpendicular to this line. It is then plain that theratio of valve travel to the offered width of port is equal to the ratio ofW—Y to X—Y and from this the trav
