Provided the steam lap, steam lead, and the point ofcut-off. 22 VALVE SETTING In Fig. 20, let the angle C—0—P be that corresponding to the pointof reduce-off and draw in the lap circle Q M L, laying off at the very same timethe distance Q—N equal to the lead. Connect the points N and andthe points and L by straight lines, and erect a perpendicular to eachof these lines at its middle point. The point Oi at which these twoperpendiculars intersect will be the center of the steam-valve circle andthe radius will be the distance from it to the point , or either of thepoints N and L. The diameter of this circle is, of course, equal to onehalf the travel of the valve, so that the crank circle may readily beconstructed, and the angle Cg—0—R amongst the diameter of the valvecircle and the perpendicular erected from the point will be the angleof advance. It is, then, an straightforward matter to carry out the building and
