. These engines are made in two styles, simple doublecylinder and cross compound. The double cylinder andcross compound style have been very successfully adaptedto traction engine purposes with certain advantages thatno other style of traction engine has. With two cylindersand two pistons placed side by side, with crank pins atright angles on the shaft, there can be no dead centers, atwhich an engine will be completely stuck.
