The special advantages of this machine are emphasized by arrows, indicating that the crank shaft has threefold supports, whereby inaccuracies resulting from vibrations or jerks are eliminated. Further, especially when illustrating machines of recent type, it wouid be necessary to indicate the driving centre and the gear because they are exceedingly important of the use of the machine and, consequently, for running costs. If machines or instruments are so complicated that the construction and details cannot be shown by ordinary pictures, it is advisable to use the schematic reproduction of the chief parts.

In the case of heavy engines most of the work is done inside the interior parts, which makes it invisible as an ordinary film objective. In order to show such processes, it will be necessary to make models worked by a separate drivng force. Figure 5 shows this form of reproduction in a double
