der three heads: those which obtain the parallelism of the piston-rod by means of the system of jointed rods called a parallel motion; those which use guides or sliding surfaces for this purpose; and those denominated oscillating-engines, in which the cylinder is hung upon pivots and follows the oscillations of the crank. More specifically as follows: — Annular cylinder steam-engine (Maudslay's). Double-cylinder steam-engine (Maudslay's). Double-piston steam-engine (Maudslay's). Gorgon steam-engine (Seaward's). Inclined cylinder steam-engine (Brunel's). Inverted cylinder steam-engine (Galloway's). Inverted double-cylinder steam-engine (Hick's). Oscillating cylinder steam-engine (Witty's). Sliding-cover steam-engine (Parkyn's). Steeple steam-engine (Trevethick, Napier). Trunk steam-engine (Humphery's). See under the respective heads. In Napier's direct-action steam-engine, the beam is retained, but only for the purpose of working the pumps. The

A canulated or concave conductor; called also a blunt gorget. Gorgon-elle′. （Fabric.) A Dutch cloth. Gor′gon steam-en′gine. A form of directaction steam-engine, invented by Seaward (Britain), as a means of obviating the use of the beam in marine-engines. It is called the Gorgon engine, from having been first employed in an English government steamer of that name. Seaward's direct-action engine. a is the steam-cylinder and b the piston-rod, which is connected to the crank c by the rod d. The head of the piston-rod is guided vertically by the parallel motion, as follows: e is a rocking standard, carrying at its upper end the fulcrum upon which the beam turns. The beam is jointed at g to the cross-head of the piston-rod, and also to the radius bar i, whic
