The free air enters at the side flange of the other cylinderthrough an air pipe, which may lead from the outside of thebuilding. The provision for lubrication of every workingpart is deserving of notice. There are chain oilers on themain journals, a pressure grease cup takes care of the upperpin and the crank pins dip in oil at each revolution. The oilcups on the engine are filled by an oiling system centering atthe centre of the engine, just below the cylinder. The design of this compressor is quite novel, both cylindersbeing single acting, which does away with stufling boxes, andgives a cooling area 80 per cent, greater than a double-actingcylinder, greatly increasing the efliciency.
