Dave,

You are correct, it is the Differential engine I was thinking about.

Another attempt at circumventing patents was the "Epicyclical" steam engine. 
This was invented, I believe to get around Watts' patent on the crankshaft 
and connecting rod.  I have a model here at the house that our son built a 
few years ago.  Runs quite well, but looks weird as all get out.
