1890-1900 Atlas Automatic Steam Engine Part 5 Evaluation Begins

  • January 2020 was warmer and wetter than typical in north Texas. The Brownell boiler firebox was filled with wood the prior December. Even though it was covered it still was too damp to easily get burning.
    The new to the engine the old lubricator had never been used since acquiring it. The sight glasses and the stop valve had to be replaced. Fortunately no leaks were observed and operated as expected when steam was applied.
    The new timber engine base now allowed the engine to be run up to its governed speed without fear of falling off its cribbing. Doing so revealed a condition seen on both of the other automatic steam engines seen in prior videos. That condition is where the engine valve timing is off when on the governor. This is indicated by uneven exhaust beats. The unscientific field adjustment is a first step in correcting this.
    While they did not seem too bad when the steam chest was inspected, the valve component scoring might be too numerous and too deep to keep steam from constantly blowing out the engine exhaust. This materially reduces the economy of steam automatic engines are known for. More to do.

    Hi, I just ran across this, I built a scale model about fifteen years ago, bronze and iron castings, about inch and a quarter bore, I never built an oiler for it, but have run it on compressed air, now I guess I've got to finally make an oiler for it. Thanks for showing this, I spent a few weeks finicking on valve timing till it was just right. Semper Fidelis.

      LineshaftRestorations Totally! I love thinking about how these old machines were the peak tech of their day. Unfortunately too many people my age are addicted to today’s peak tech, and have no other hobbies or interests. As for me, I have never played video games, and have no desire to do so. My hobbies are working on cars, airplanes, and especially engines!

    I've got a similar engine built in 1901 on a saw mill. It's a Fairbanks-Morse, 30 H.P. it belonged my Great Grand Dad then my Grand Dad and then my Dad. We just got through a complete rebuild and added a condensate recovery system. It runs like a top now. Mine has a horizontal fire tube boiler and not a vertical like yours.

    I don't know where you're located but my grandpa had a welding and machine shop in Groom, TX. He had that same steam oiler in his shop. I remember looking at it and finally giving up and asking him just what the thing was. I would never have guessed! His shop had the old line shaft tools, but converted to electric motor driven by the time I was growing up in the 70's. But he had a hit and miss backup. I loved that shop!

      I worked in a tannery years ago. The drums or mills the leather was dyed in all ran off a line shafts, with babbit bearings. The two big lathes in the maintainence dept ran off a line shaft. The paddle wheels in the beam house also ran off a line shaft. Those were taken out, the first year I was there.

      There are probably several ways that this can be adjusted further. If you stop right at 16:04 you'll see the knuckle of the connecting rod from the cam that moves the valve box. That's a possibility, also there might be a way to adjust the cam itself. There is also an adjustment on the valve box that is in the steam chest.
