Excerpt from Walschaert Valve Gear Breakdowns and How to Adjust Them
Egide Walschaert, the designer of the valve gear that bears his name, worked like Watt, Stephenson, and other great inventors to solve the problem for future genera tions. He produced his invention in the year 1844 when the locomotive was yet in its infancy as compared with modern practice. He, wrought much better than he knew, for his work now fulfills a need that did not really exist at the time, but his gear today appears to be almost indispensable to meet the conditions which have arisen in consequence of the development of the loco motive.
