Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

overhead valves form the subject of patent No. 866,872. (The Austin Motor Co., Ltd., Longbridge, Birmingham.) In the scheme proposed, the camshaft runs inside a tunnel (l) in the cylinder head, and actuates the hollow tappets (2).

The tappets bear on rockers located og spherical seatings (3). The seatings cooperate with the ball-end of a sleeve (4) carried by a stud.

A spring-steel key (5), held under the stud nut, prevents the rocker turning.
