Mechanical appliances, mechanical movements and novelties of construction; a complete work and a continuation, as a second volume, of the author's book entitled "Mechanical movements, powers and devices" ... including an explanatory chapter on the leading conceptions of perpetual motion existing during the past three centuries. the annular steam is exhausted through the large exhaust opening at the rightof the abutment when the piston reaches this point in its stroke. 259. Longitudinal section, showing steam connections. 260. OSCILLATING ROTARY ENGINE. This engine con-sists of a pair of curved cylinders, P P, a circular piston rod, L, to which are attached the two pistons, Q Q,the pistons traveling within the cylinderswith a reciprocating rotary motion, and apair of rocking radial arms, K K, whichtransmits the motion of the piston rod toelliptical gears (not shown in the engraving),which controls the motion and transmitsthe power of the engine. The cyHnders with the steam pipe, /, arecarried by a bracket, H, which is keyedfirmly to the main shaft, A, and rotates with it. The radial arms, K K,to which the piston rod, L, is keyed, are journaled loosely upon A, andcarry an elliptical gear, which meshes with another elliptical gearcarried upon a countershaft. When steam is admitted to the cylinders. STEAM IOWKR APPLIANCES. 109 through the ports, ?, at either end of the cyhnders, the difference inthe diameters of the elHptical gears at the point of contact causes themain shaft elhptical gear, with the attached parts, to rotate.
