I was going to post excerpts from "The Red Devil and other tales from the age of Steam " , by Wardale, but I couldn't find my copy last night.
The synopsis pages on the ultimate steam page, which I posted links to above, are actually quite good, and somewhat easy to follow the concept even for non-engineers. And yes, the term ejector is used extensively.
Steam locomotive development did not all come to a hard stop in 1945. Many improvements, particularly to exhaust systems, continued to recent times, including work performed on one of the cog locomotives at Mount Washington, and at least one of the Grand Canyon locomotives.
