Not illustrated. 1893 Excerpt: ...cast iron is of uniform thickness. Leakage at the split is prevented by a brass tongue-piece, fixed to one end of the spring ring by screws. The split in the spring ring is shown square across the spring ring. But it is better to cut it obliquely so that the edges may not score the cylinder. The spring ring is pressed outwards by numerous plate-springs, placed in recesses cast in the rim of the piston. The spring ring and springs are kept in place by a junk ring. This last is attached to the piston by bolts, which have brass nuts placed in recesses behind the plate springs. To prevent these bolts slacking back, in consequence of the vibration of the piston, various locking arrangements are used. In the piston shown (a type used by Messrs. Humphreys and Tennant), a securing ring bears against the heads of all the junk-ring bolts.? This ring is attached to the piston by studs, the nuts being fixed by split pins. Holes are cast in the piston for clearing out the loam core, and these are afterwards fitted with screw plugs or plugs secured by screwed pins. In this piston the rod is tapered and the piston is secured to it by a large nut on the upper side of the piston. When such a piston works in a horizontal cylinder, a block placed between the spring ring and piston body on the bottom side of the piston keeps the latter from bearing on the cylinder. This block may extend round about one-fourth of the circumference. Cast-steel pistons.--Large pistons are now often made of Steel castings, which are stronger and one-third lighter than cast-iron pistons. Fig. 87a shows a cast-steel piston such as is now adopted in marine engines. The unit for the proportional figures is t=o'ooid s/p in large to o-oo$ds/p in small engines, but the thickness is in no case less than &...
