The piston is of the usual drum pat-tern mounted eccentrically upon the main shaft. The abutment is carried by a cyhndrical guide block and rests uponthe piston, being free to oscillate upon the is prevented from escaping from the steamto the exhaust port by the abutment, which has ashding contact with the partition in the cyhndricalguide. The upper end of the guide terminates ina piston which works in the cylindrical upper por-tion of the engine casing, and is normally pusheddownward by a spring above it, the downwardpressure of the spring, together with the action ofthe steam on the oscillating abutment, beingadapted to keep the latter firmly in contact withthe piston drum. The engine is reversed by changing the inflow ofsteam from one side of the partition referred to, to the other, whichoperation also reverses the exhaust
