Lovely!!!

Almost certainly double acting as the steam line comes into the port block at the connecting rod end, so there is almost certainly (99.999%) a feed steam port at that end of the cylinder, and would of necessity be one at the blind end of the cylinder too, or else you'd be constantly fighting vacuum and compression.
