Re: Understanding the adjustment of a compound
Ref the valve in the pics, I could be wrong but I would suggest this is not strictly a "balanced valve" as we know it but a Andrews & Cameron valve sometimes known as a "matchbox" valve, it functions rather like a flat piston valve needs setting up properly but should work well.
