The steam or air is admitted from the bottom and between the pistons, driving the pistonsoutward to the position asshown at the left end ofcylinder. When the pistonsare in this position, the camvalve opens the top port andcloses the feed port, thusallowing the steam or air tocollect between pistons andpass to the opposite side ofthe same, driving them in-ward to the position asshown in the right end of cut. As soon as the inward stroke is com-pleted, the extension stem on pistons opens the end or exhaust valves,which remain open until the pistons c
