Finally, this is the camshaft for an opposed twin Briggs I have marked where the cams ar at 102deg. If you were to swap the two...

Here you go. Cams on this engine maybe 110deg apart but as they are out in the open it shows that is what works. If you are not...

I don't see any Corliss valves for this engine Pat all the same spool valves Quite possible they used two on the LP due to the larger...

You are mixing crankshaft angle (40 and 15) with camshaft angle (102). And also mixing teh timing diagram from one engine with the cam...

First thing to say is that the images Gordon posted are from more than one engine. But the 102 deg is from the Upshur, the timing...

I would say 1/16" dia x 1/4 deep eg to meet the 1/8" hole from the other side in the middle. Then counterbore 3/32" x 1/16" deep

Heads (end covers) and pistons are flat so need the bracing webs much like the end plates of a boiler or sides of a firebox need stays...

Maybe the webs around and along the boiler were simply crinolines to support the cleading and not intended to be structural

Fancy Chaps those. The smaller caster can get away with a couple of old style cut nails as seen here poking out the bottom of this...

Incoming pressure does not control the speed, it determines the work the engine will do. The more pounds applied to the area of the...

As said low speed is the key be it the hole type, single, 3 or multiple flutes. Mild steel

They should not be hard to make, turn a bit of brass down to size and run a die down it in the lathe. Brass is easy to machine and...

As I read it the steam enters via the central smaller round flange and the passages take it to each valve. The exhaust from the two...

The W type that Mike Cole used to do castings for just had flat edges to the knife and two fork ends. They were steel and ran against...

What is on the table (6 parts) is £1200 Timeline is probably 6 to 8 weeks for submission of final design.
