From patent US-0118007-A Issued Aug 15, 1871:
"My invention consists in operating the rocking or slide-valve of a steam-engine directly from the connecting-rod between the piston-rod and the crank without the use of an eccentric or separate crank for the purpose. This is accomplished by means of a valve-rod which, may operate longitudinally and directly upon the end of the valve, or communicate the motion by a rocking movement, as hereinafter shown."
