ROTARY PISTON ENGINE. Has a casing or frame inwhich is an annular groove or cyHnder. In this groove is fitted a pis-ton which is carried by the piston diskas shown. A sHding abutment israised and lowered by means of a camon the engine shaft and a cam revolving shaft and cam causesthe abutment to rise and fall at theproper point in the travel of the pis-ton. In the section the abutmenthas just begun its downward stroke, forming as it does the cylinder head. The piston disk is providedwith a radial groove which communicates with an annular grooveshown. Steam is admitted to the annular groove by means of a sHdevalve shown by dotted lines and immediately below the shaft. Assoon as the abutment reaches the piston disk, the valve opens and ad-mits steam into the annular groove and thence into the radial groove,the latter conducting it into the space between the piston and the abut-ment, the steam pushing the piston around in the annular steam is exhausted through t
