Making movements like these are really popular in the 3d printing community. Like this video about number 049, a crank that only turns clockwise: https://youtu.be/y44_xMFsPQQ https://youtu.be/y44_xMFsPQQ

From the description of 423: > The piston and crank connections are such that the steam acts on each piston during about two-thirds of the revolution of the crank, and hence there are no dead points. Quite a clever solution to allow startup in any position!
