The engine receiving steam in the crankend and gas in the head end of the cyl-inder operates, as single-acting steam andfour-cycle gas, on the opposite ends ofthe piston in the same cylinder, the super-heated steam being admitted to the crankend of the cylinder and the hot gasesbeing drawn into the head end of thecylinder, compressed and exploded. Gasbeing used in the head end, instead ofthe crank end of the cylinder, obviatesinjury to the piston rod and piston rodpacking. The construction of the steam end ofthe cylinder, the piston, the piston rod,the guides, the connecting rod, the crankshaft, and the valve gear and reversingmechanism is the same as that generallyused in steam engines, and nothing newor untried is introduced.
