Lloyd,
     I never owned a Cricket, but I believe they were made in two versions,
one with a fixed single acting cylinder and one with the oscillating
cylinder. The picture I saw of one used the oscillating cylinder.  You must
have the fixed cylinder version.  I should not have used the Cricket as it
was a misleading example of oscillating cylinders.
     Mike Chaney and Larry Lindsay (Shay) also made engines with oscillating
cylinders
