Hi Richard,

What you're seeing is a pretty standard configuration for two-cycle oilfield
engines.  The piston rod screws into the piston and exits the rear of the
cylinder via a piacking gland.  The other end of the piston rod is screwed into
the cross-head which slides back and forth sort of like the carriage on lathe
ways.  The connecting rod attaches to the cross-head and the crankshaft via
two-piece brass bearings (referred to as "brasses").  Make sense?

See ya,  Arnie
