Similar to a radial engine with the exception of the eccentric shaft.

I'd have to look at my aircraft books, but it is somewhat similar to the radial engine or "corn cob" but I don't remember quite how the crankshaft operated on them since I only disassembled one in school and that was a little while ago.
