In conjunction with a chart showing the frictional load and turning load due to eccentric bearing of the rocker during the opening and closing of an inlet and exhaust valve, we herewith give the resistance load of the plungers showing that the leak factor could be considerably increased, and still cope with the loads of the eccentric and keep the rocker clearance down to its limit. | ||
