A very good reason for not using outside admission is that gland packings are subjected to lower pressures with inside admission. i.e. exhaust pressures instead of boiler pressure.
As 464 is described as the first conversion to "outside admission" can anyone confirm that it is that way today? Or did the author misunderstand the meaning of the description?
