If now the motors were made to run dynamos conveying low-pressure currents to the public, there is no possible way whereby this high-pressure current could get to the public."
At that moment a great blessing befell us. A boy let his cap drop from the wharf into the water! It was an insignificant matter in itself, but it acted like the little safety-valve which prevents the bursting of a high-pressure engine. Voyagers and friends no longer looked at each other like melancholy imbeciles.

The two smaller balance pistons, L and M, are allowed to remain on the high-pressure end; but the largest piston, Z, is placed upon the low-pressure end of the rotor immediately behind the last ring of blades, and working inside of the supplementary cylinder W. Being backed up by the body of the spindle, there is ample stiffness to prevent warping.
Even a routine mechanical employment is felt to be a relief by minds acting under high-pressure: it is an intermission of labour a rest a relaxation, the pleasure consisting in the work itself rather than in the result. But the best of hobbies are intellectual ones.
Few men, perhaps, ever learn how to so manage their brain and stomach as to be capable of high-pressure brain action for days at a time until the cumulative mental forces break through all obstacles and conquer success.
