Handlebar attachment
Handlebar attachment on the cross head of the 99 759
Cross head of the 01 066 without handlebar attachment
The handlebar approach is a part of the outer link control a steam engine, the best known of their classification as Heusinger control has been executed.
Application and purpose
The handlebar attachment transfers the movements of the crosshead linearly to the handlebar of the Heusinger control. In some steam locomotive designs, a direct connection between the cross head and the handlebar has been made, so that a separate handlebar attachment can be dispensed with. That clearly determined the geometry of the drive and the controls .
