ends of the cylinders, and areworked from separate cam shafts in front of the engines, themeans employed for reversing being similar to that alreadydescribed for the single acting engine, but the reversing gearoperates both cam shafts. As previously mentioned in dis-cussing this type of engine, two fuel valves are fitted in thebottom of each cylinder on account of the stuffing box, whichis of the same type as used for double acting gas engines.For running at low speeds the fuel valves at the bottommay be put out of operation, when the engine works singleacting. The scavenge air is usually arranged to enter at both sides,and there are exhaust pipes both at the back and the frontof the engine. The following are the standard sizes to be adopted;engines of 1,000 H.P. are already running, while two of1,500 H.P. each have also been built:— Output B.H.P.
