The mixer creates the correct fuel-air mixture by means of a needle valve attached to a weighted or spring-loaded piston usually in conjunction with an oil-damped dashpot.
42.
The valve is opened by the mechanical valve gear mechanism, and when the trip gear trigger releases the mechanism the valve is snapped closed, usually by a spring acting against a dashpot.
43.
The cylinder piston arrangement of the dashpot, i . e . the Lower Spring seat and the axle box guide is not fully sealed due to the limitation of the design and practical applicability.
44.
The bottom of the axle box guide has a guide cap with perforations so that during the downward movement of the axle guide in the lower spring seat, the oil in the dashpot rushes in the axle box guide.
45.
In many engines, the same dashpot acts as a vacuum spring to pull the valves closed, but Corliss's early engines were slow enough that it was the weight of the dashpot piston and rod that closed the valve.

The elastic modulus of a spring is analogous to a circuit's " capacitance " ( it stores energy ) and the viscosity of a dashpot to a circuit's " resistance " ( it dissipates energy ).

With its many industrial and commercial applications, to household appliances and gardening, the dashpot timer is a very important invention that has certainly led to many changes in how thing were done during the 20th century and how things are done in modern times.
49.
As the top portion of the lower spring seat is not sealed and only covered with the help of a protective tube also called the dashpot cover, the rising oil has a tendency to shoot above the top rim of the lower spring seat and spill out.

:: This chapter says that there is a recoil brake ( which seems to be a gas cylinder damping arrangement-see fig 5B21 ) which it likens to a dashpot, which both spreads the recoil impulse delivered to the ship out over time ( to lessen the otherwise shattering shock ) and to dampen the oscillation.
