< it would now be possible to control their timing independently, i.e. to apply lead to the timing of the inlet valve >


In an attempt to help the reader, 'lead' is linked to Cutoff (steam engine). Unfortunately, however, the word 'lead' does not occur in the Cutoff article. 86.130.154.3 (talk) 21:43, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's unfortunate. Cutoff (steam engine) is a very thin article. This is Wikipedia, so you could yourself start writing a better one. The best sources would be:
  • Hills, Richard L. (1989). Power from Steam. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-45834-X.
  • Semmens, P.W.B.; Goldfinch, A.J. (2003) [2000]. How Steam Locomotives Really Work. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-860782-3.
