This was the very first compound tank engine built anywhere and it was product of Jules Anatole Mallet's fertile imagination. The high-pressure cylinder lay on the left side, the low-pressure cylinder on the right. Steam went to the HP cylinder, was exhausted into a "receiver" and from there was conducted to the LP cylinder before being released to the atmosphere. Mallet's compounding ratio lies within good practice, but his two-cylinder system tended to jerk the engine at higher speeds.
Mallet soon developed the 4-cylinder, 2-engine articulated compound design that eventually went into service all over the world.
