i could not find a single example of a production engine or of any working
prototype that put the piston engine after the compressor stage.  there were
diagrams and descriptions of theoretical designs that would have placed the
piston engine after the compression stage, but not one engine that i could
find ever actually did so.  the diagrams and cutaways of all the functional
units that i could find via the web placed the piston engine in the open air
intake of the initial intake stage duct with the compressor stage behind the
piston engine, and then the combustion chamber behind the compression stage.

if you know of any finished examples or even any working prototypes which
were built that did put the piston engine behind the compressor, i'd like to
see them.
