I think what they are refering to is that each piston in a normal 4 stroke fires every two rev's of the crankshaft, because this engine has double ended pistons, each piston can effectivly fire every rev'.
At the risk of sounding a little crude, one end is "s u c k - squashing" while the other end is "bang - blowing" (s u c k , squash, bang, blow = 4 stroke
)
