In a steam engine, one method of obtaining the earlier cut-off with a simple slide valve may be obtained by increasing the angle of advance of the eccentric but reducing the throw of the eccentric and keeping the steam lap and exhaust lap constant. The method will cause withdrawing or throttling of steam.
