In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a distributing-valve B is mounted on the end of a spindle A secured to a disc A' operated by the crank-pin A<2>. The valve chamber C is connected by ports E, E' to a supply chamber D', the ports E, E<1> and also an exhaust port E' being controlled by a hand-operated slide valve D or a rotary valve. In mid-position the valve D cuts off the fluid supply, and the valve is shifted to admit fluid according to the direction in which the engine is to run. Grooves c, c' are formed in the valve B opposite to the ports E, E<1> and are connected to channels c<2> c<3> adapted to register with passages c<4> leading to the cylinders. The valve B is kept fluid-tight by packing-rings e, and at the back a piston Z is pressed against the valve by fluid, under pressure, admitted from the chamber D'. The reversing-valve may be applied to the ordinary distributing-valve used on " Brotherhood" engines. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the valve B has ports c, c' leading to the face ports c', c<3> on the back of the valve and placed in direct communication with ports G', G<2> in a piston G. The ports G<1>, G' and also the exhaust port are controlled by the reversing-valve D. The exhaust port communicates with an annular chamber H. The pressure of the fluid on the back of the piston keeps the parts in working contact. In a modification, the piston is replaced by a fixed division plate, and the distributing-valve is kept in working contact with this plate by fluid supplied from the reversing-valve chamber through a suitable passage. According to the Provisional Specification, the distributing-valve may be formed as a conical plug with passages leading from the admission ports to an annular groove fitted with stops, so that one part may be used for exhausting while the other is used for the supply. A lignum vitae bush may be used as a seating for the valve.
