Description:

Claim:

This invention relates in general to engines of that class in which the piston is subjected to the action of successive explosions of a gas or vapor, and more especially to engines of this general description in which the crank normally receives an impulse at each revolution in contradistinction from engines of the "Otto" type, in which the complete cycle of operations necessary to effect the expulsion of the burned gases, the drawing in of a fresh charge, the compression of the charge, and the explosion thereof occupies two revolutions of the crank.
