HUSA,
Slow down mate, feed it in slowly - it's very interesting of course, but we need time to study it all and try to digest everything!!

The Karol Ansdale Engine.
Obviously the design wasn't finalised and up and running, possibly not even reaching the prototype stage. There is no sign of it on the net that I can find but this has been taken from a very old scrapbook I had tucked away.
Having had a quick look again, I can see that I hadn't sat down all those years ago and thought about the concept thoroughly enough to properly understand it !
Looking quickly at it again (after a lot of years), I feel that the surface speeds (at the sealing surfaces) may be have been too high, then again maybe not because the section containing the pistons/cylinders probably rotate at half speed. Got to study it more myself!
Some more pics of the uniflows of Neils
plus the Clerk engine

Is that one using O ring seals as opposed to head gaskets?

Interesting concept.

this is one that could have, should have, would have,,,,, but true to the Brit bike industry???
The stepped piston 2T engine developed by Bernard Hooper for Norton, The Wulf 500, of which, one was made!!

Commer TS3
"The engine was unusual in being an opposed piston engine where each horizontal cylinder contains two pistons, one at each end, that move in opposition to each other.[5] Even more unusually, both sets of pistons drove only a single crankshaft; most opposed piston engines have a separate crankshaft at each end of the cylinder. The TS3 engine used a single crankshaft beneath the cylinders, each piston driving it through a connecting rod, a rocker lever and a second connecting rod. The crankshaft had six crankpins and there were six rockers.[6]
The engine was a two-stroke, compression-ignition diesel engine with uniflow-ported cylinders.[6] Scavenging was performed by a Roots blower.[7] and was mounted on the front of the engine and driven by a long quill shaft from a chain drive at the rear of the engine. Although the engines gained a reputation for good performance, this quill shaft was somewhat prone to breaking if over-worked."
