Cylinder lubrication

[Maurice Cox 1Participant @mauricecox1]

Given a free choice, where is the best place to admit the cylinder oil; the steam pipe or the steam chest? If it’s the steam chest, would adjacent to  the slide valve be best? I would value any advice.

Thankyou.

If you has a lof of cylinder, use steam pipe to admit the cylinder oil. I prefer cylinder oil admitted into the steam pipe to be sure the whole moving parts are lubricated either it is a one cylinder or multi cylinder steam engine.

Thankyou
