The steam ports are closed by push-ing in of the abutment pistons at the ex-haust ports C, C. E, exhaust jacket, F,exhaust space. 249. REVERSIBLE ROTARY ENGINE. On the drivingshaft, within the cylinder, is secured the hub of a wheel containing a series of four pistons fitted to slide in therim of the wheel, the opposite pistons be-ing connected in pairs at their inner endsby a slotted frame through which the shaftpasses, so that the pistons have free radialmovement, one moving inward as theother moves outward, and vice versa. Theouter ends of the pistons engage the innersurface of part of the cylinder and partof an abutment in the cylinder. Theabutment is made in two parts, bolted attheir outer ends to the cyhnder, and con-nected with each other at their inner endsby bolts and intervening packing strip, and the abutment serves topress an outermost piston inward, so that its opposite mate slides out-ward into contact with the peripheral inner surface of the STEAM POWER APPLIANCES. 105 250. ROTARY ENGINE. Harrington type. The disks have abearing surface of several inches on each other, preventing the passage of steam between them. An end elevation partlyin section, showing the piston A, and the abut-ment disk B, in position at the instant oftaking steam through a port from the valvechamber E. The piston disks and gear areattached to the driving shaft, and the abut-ment disks and gear are attached to theshaft K. These shafts run in taper phos-phor-bronze bearings, which are adjustable forwear or other causes by screw-caps. Thewhole mechanism is kept rigidly in place by the flanged hub.
