Gas first enters inlet pipe _A_ (Fig. 3) passing along _A1_ into

covered valve chamber _B_ up through orifice _O_. It then passes down

through two of the valve ports at the same time, ports _C_ and _D1_

(Fig. 2). Before _C1_ (Fig. 3) has gotten to its extreme opening, the

valve on the opposite side has moved to allow gas to pass down port

_D_. On every quarter turn of tangent _P_, one port is opening to

receive gas which passes down through the valve ports into the chambers

below (see arrows on Fig. 2), which shows the gas passing into chamber

_F_. The pressure being greater on the outside of the diaphragm, forces

the diaphragm inward and expels the gas from the inside of _D2_ through

_D_ and passes over the cross-bar into the fork channel (see Fig.

1). On the other side gas is passing down through port _D1_ (Fig. 2)

entering diaphragm _D3_, the pressure being greater on the inside of

_D3_ therefore forces the diaphragm outward and expels the gas from

the outside of diaphragm _D3_; out through port _C1_ into fork channel

same as shown in (Fig. 1). All exhaust gas from the chambers below

is checked from entering the chamber _B_ by the slide valve _G_ and

_G1_ (Fig. 2). Instead of passing into chamber _B_ it passes over the

cross-bars between _D1E1_ and _C1E1_ into the fork channels, then to

outlet pipe _N_ (Fig. 3) to house pipe.
