Each pair ofpistons is thus attached to its own cone only for half the pistonlength, while the other half projects over the core belonging to theother pair. Neither pair of pistons can therefore pass the other. Fig-. ^ ™ though they may come into contact. Each pair of pistons has itsindependent shaft, and externally to the cylinder each of these shaftscarries an elliptical gear-wheel, which works into an equal and similarwheel upon a shaft parallel to the piston shaft.
