	The British Caprotti Valve Gear
		Steam engines do not have mechanical gears; instead "gearing" is achieved by shutting off the supply of steam at an earlier and earlier point in the piston stroke.
		Starting with a train, the steam cut-off of THE DUKE will be at 83% of the piston stroke and the rest of the work will be done by expansion.
		As the Duke gathers speed and the driver shortens the cut-off, the variable valve actuation makes the inlet valves close sooner in the cycle.
