I am interested in how this very unusual opposed piston two stroke engine worked and some years ago found diagrams and a description.
I went to look this up recently and cannot find the diagrams I had found - though there is quite a lot of information out there - the illustration I seek is a drawing showing the workings of the engine with gas flow etc.
Does anyone have a copy of this article please which I would love to add to my Vincent file and also stop me trying to understand how it worked - though I'm sure I must have filed it somewhere.
Thanks
Matty.

The knocker Commer used the same principle and there are lots of videos about them. It will help you get your head around the engineering.
