Gresley Conjugated Valve Gear

Summary

• Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, chief mechanical engineer of the LNER, Gresley Conjugated Valve Gear allowed a 3-cylinder locomotive to derive the valve motion for the inside cylinder from that of the outside cylinders. This meant that only 2 sets of Walschaert valve gear were needed for the locomotive.
