Roger,

I've just had a look at the link-
(http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/SOU_STE/STEAM_ENGINE.html),

It seems to me that the article was scanned but not proof read - it 
certainly appears that tables from the original document have come out 
something like Eric Morecambe's piano playing - (All the right notes were 
there, but not necessarily in the right order (sunbeam)). I too couldn't get 
the links to work properly.

"Valves and Valvegears for Locomotive " republished by TEE as ISBN 0 905100 
36 0 has a few examples of Zeuner diagrams, but does not cover the Reuleaux 
diagram. In fact, I'm not certain of the correct spelling - is it "Reau.." 
or Reu.."?

The internet seems trangely silent when searched....
