Simple oscillating 45 degree engine

Hi

I`m looking for some info on building a oscillating based on these plans:

Most of it seems OK but I can`t understand the inlet and exhaust arrangement. There is a detail box B which shows the exhaust as straight but the inlet is a L shape. This is my second build ( first McCabe Runner succesful) I might be missing something really simple but if anyone has built a engine of this type and can explain the valve arrangemet I would be most grateful. Other tips also welcome.

Thanks

Paul

Isn't it simply a mixture of space available and where you want the inlet and exhaust connections to point?

You could ask on this site, they tend to build a lot of engines from bar stock on there, so may find someone thats made it.

I did a screen print to PDF of the "better (and clearer)" print, and was able to zoom in to the "Frame" drawing. It seems to me that "Note 'A'" is a detail looking down on the top face of the frame, and "Note 'B'" is is a cross section through the frame at the point indicated by the arrows, as seen from the right hand end looking along the frame. I hope this helps.
