Enterprise Division, Oakland, California This is a direct drive engine; there is no transmission.  To start the engine it must be heated and then the fuel is turned on.  Compressed air from the air tanks starts to rotate the engine pistons.  Once the engine fires up, the drive shaft begins to rotate and this turns the propeller at approximately 275 r.p.m. To reverse direction the engine must be totally shut down with the fuel turned off. The camshaft control is moved and the camshaft slides by air to the opposite direction.  The process to start the engine is started all over again with the exception of heating the engine.
