Description: |
Claim:
The object of my invention is to provide in a single-cylinder engine a means for counterbalancing the momentum. of the piston and its pitman, which overcomes all vibration, making a smooth-running engine, with consider- zo ably less wear upon the parts than where a single-piston engine is not provided with means for balancing its piston and 'pitman, and especially is this true in respect to explosive-engines which are very rapid in their movements |
