This operation continues as the altitude increases until the relay piston has receded to its limit at which position the throttles are fully open, this position being at the rated altitude of the engine. Two sketches are appended, shewing the operation of the system. G.H.Farmer. 5. 1. 32. att: 2 prints. | ||
