Given what we know about engines now thats such an odd design. It seems almost overly complicated. I assume both cylinders would fire in unison? I wonder what ever became of the old girl?

Not so odd if you have spent the last 50 years thinking steam engine design. Surprising to me is that the crankcase is enclosed.

The early Standard marine engines all had fully open crankcases with the cylinder perched up on four beefy rods to take the reaction forces just like a steam engine. They were really messy to have in a boat as oil flew everywhere when they were running.

They even went so far as to build an engine with double acting characteristics that had a piston complete with a cross head assembly that fired from two plugs, one above the piston, one below. Just like a steam engine.
