(under the class definition) Apparatus having a vane or abutment which moves incident to the expansion and contraction of the expansion chamber, said vane or abutment having primary means and separate and distinct supplemental means to move the vane or abutment.

(1) Note. Neither centrifugal force nor the weight of a vane or abutment is considered to be either a primary or a supplementary moving means.
