Alan,
This wouldn't be something left over from the movie "Plan 9 from Outer
Space" which has the dubious claim of being the worst movie ever made ?. I
base this on your letting us have a hint by calling it "Project 9".
Looks like the valve gear is entirely operated by the lever attached to the
driver crank. At first it looks like a regular "combination lever" but is
connected to the apparent Stephenson link. I say it is entirely free lance,
but I suppose it would run given a chance. At least the eccentrics are not
hidden away between the drivers.
Jesse in hot enough to boil water Troy, TN. and yes, I have seen Plan 9 from
outer space and it is, in my opinion labeled correctly though I saw an
attempt at making "War of the Worlds" that will give "Plan 9" close
competition.
