The working shaft carries, of course, two elliptical gear-wheels: Thompsons rotary steam-engine. 89 and these are set with their major axes at right angles to each elliptical wheels upon the piston shafts have their longer axes atright angles to the pistons. Supposing then the engine to be in thatpoint of the revolution which is illustrated in Fig. 16, the nearer pair ofits pistons will be vertical and the more distant pair horizontal. If wedisturb it from this position, by turning the fly-wheel by hand, it will beevident that the remoter piston will be forced to revolve faster than thenearer one, because the gear-wheel on the working-shaft acts in the for-mer case by its longest radius, and in the latter by its shortest, while theopposite is true of the wheels on the piston shaft. The pistons willtherefore approach each oth
