context_page_description: In internal combustion engines, a split-single design is a type of two-stroke where two cylinders share a single combustion chamber.
  The first production split-single engine was built from 1918 and the design was used on several motorcycles and cars until the mid 1950s, although one company continued producing split-single engines for motorcycles until 1970. During this time, the design was also occasionally used for engines with four or more cylinders.
