Meanwhile the piston of the second engine, having been set in motion by the first, has commenced its own stroke. On its way it encounters and moves the valve of the first engine through a series of levers; continues to the end of its stroke, closing its own valve, and rests until again called upon to move by the first engine. Thus one piston is put in motion, proceeds on its stroke, actuates the valve of the other.
