OSTI ID:5005091
An engine is described comprising an output shaft journaled in a crankcase for rotation about an axis, an even number of cylinders, each having its axis parallel to the shaft axis, arranged in diametrically opposite pairs radially equidistant from the shaft axis and equally spaced-apart circumferentially, a piston movable axially along each cylinder, a crosshead beam for each pair of pistons connected to the respective pistons and journalled on a carrier that is received on the shaft for rotation with and movement axially along the shaft. The pistons are connected by connecting rods to the crosshead beams by slider assemblies, each of which includes a cylindrical slideway affixed to a crankcase housing and having an axis aligned with the corresponding cylinder.
