They are quite a bit "cocked" in the 360 link, so they definitely move in some fashion (I think it was less visible in the static pics).

Why would they move twice? Just interested to hear your logic.
Sorry, just saw this. Because I believe the lobe on the camshaft will make 2 revolutions in the 4 stroke set up....
Cams run half, rather than twice, crankshaft speed. Now, a radial--that will make you give up on understanding engines .
I have never looked at a radial and for the life of me do not know how they get all the piston shafts attached to the crank. :hmm:

One piston is the "Fixed rod" which has a central hub attached, the remaining "articulating rods" from the remaining pistons are connected to the central hub via a set of pins. When the pistons fire they move the hub in a small circle which turns the crankshaft.
