[SEL] CrossHead

[Skip Cleveland]

Isn't a cross head used on a steam engine or some of those tandem engines so 
that a combustion chamber or in the case of a steamer, a high pressure 
chamber on both ends of the piston stroke? I think it is.Would this make it 
a double acting engine? I believe it would.
