Steam Engine Diagram - High & Low Pressure Cylinder Layout #117341 (License: Personal Use)

This precise engineering schematic depicts a compound steam engine with clearly labeled high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders, a governor for speed regulation, pressure gauge, and exhaust outlet. The cutaway view reveals internal piston arrangements, valve gear linkages, and steam pathways, illustrating how steam expands sequentially to maximize efficiency. Annotations emphasize functional zones critical to thermodynamic operation.

Used in educational resources, mechanical engineering textbooks, museum exhibits, or industrial history websites to explain 19th-early 20th century steam power systems; targets students, historians, and engineers seeking technical understanding of reciprocating steam engines.
