This open crank two-cycle design is common in oil field engines like Bessemer and Oil City engines. The back side of the cylinder is sealed around the connecting rod with a packing nut and movement is limited to non-reciprocating/linear movement by a cross head. The piston draws the fuel charge in behind it when the piston moves forward and is transferred to the front of the piston for compression thru a port in the cylinder wall when the piston travels back to bottom dead center. It is a very simple design.
