A compound turbine is a steam turbine in which there are two casings, a high pressure casing and a low pressure casing, operating in concert to extract work from a single source of steam. The steam is partially expanded in the high pressure casing, then exhausted to the low pressure casing. Tandem compound or cross compound The rotor arrangement can be either tandem compound in which the two axle s are joined end to end, or cross compound in which the two turbines have separate axles. In the cross compound case two separate generator device generators are usually supplied, although a gearbox can reduce this to one. Advantages The principal advantages of compound turbines are the reduction in size of any one casing, the confinement of the highest pressure to the smaller casing which may be made of stronger and more expensive materials and the possibility of divided flow in the low pressure casing for the purpose of equalizing end thrusts.

Orphan date September 2008 The Compound shutter is a mechanical leaf shutter for photographic camera s introduced in the late 19th century, usually used between lens components. A typical Compound shutter may have settings for T Time , B Bulb , and times from 1 second down to 1 100th or less. Unlike later mechanical shutters such as the Compur which use a clockwork mechanism, shutter timing is achieved by releasing air from a small cylinder typically mounted horizontally at the top of the shutter through a small aperture. A cam turned by the shutter speed dial positions a piston in the cylinder to provide the correct exposure. When the shutter release is pressed the shutter opens and air in the cylinder is gradually released, letting the piston move it closes the shutter when it reaches the end of its travel. The piston travels for a very short distance at the higher speeds, making their accuracy very sensitive to the precise manufacturing of the cam lower speeds are more reliably accurate. http www.skgrimes.com compound index.htm Compound Shutters for Large Format Photographers photography stub Category Photographic shutters ... more details
