4. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

   Diagram showing lap and lead and their relation to valve travel. When on the move, a steam locomotive requires steam to enter the cylinder at precise times relative to the piston's position. [3] This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston. [3]
