Data from December 1889 RREJ, which explains that this was a von-Borries compound design. The division of power between the two cylinders was equalized by differing the length of the eccentric arms of the two cylinders' link motions.
It was right around the time of the introduction of these locomotives that the JBL merged with the Western Switzerland & Simplon to form the Jura-Simplon. Only in 1898, however, did work begin on the mighty Simplon tunnel project.
