[Steam-engine] Wach's engine and boiler..revisited

[Richard Strobel]

  Howdy again all;
  Well we went and picked up the engine yesterday.  Got it home and of 
course, we had to  tear into it.  The broken belt pulley gib came right out 
and the pulley gave us absolutely no problem either.....that's a first!!


  For those of you who want to see the original pictures, click on this:

  For yesterday's pictures click on the below and also go to page 3.  You'll 
see the slide(?) valve arrangement and some more innards.  It was stuck but 
not the piston.  It was what I'm going to call the crosshead slides.  A 
little tap with the brass punch and she was free.  It's even got some grease 
on top of the piston.  PO or someone preserved this baby.

  Hope you enjoy and 2 questions please;

1.  What is the valve design/arrangement called on this engine?

2.  What is the best way to remove the piston?

TIA  here's the link;
