🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam reciprocating pump stroke length and what controls it • Purpose of valve gear adjustments in reciprocating machinery • Difference between design changes (nuts/rods) and operational adjustments

💭 Think About

• Which component is normally intended to control how far the piston travels at each stroke? • Would a manufacturer expect you to change physical dimensions of rods and nuts in service, or to adjust an existing control setting? • How would opening steam cushioning valves affect the end-of-stroke impact between the piston and cylinder head?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is an adjustment to settings versus a modification of parts • Consider what the manufacturer’s specifications are usually given for on reciprocating pumps • Confirm which action corrects the long stroke without altering the basic design of the pump
