Default Rotary engines in WW1

The thread above reminded me of a question I have about rotary engines....

Just how was fuel & air admitted into the cylinders?????

The only way I can think of is some sort of central machined plate, that has
holes in the right positions so that when it turns (along with the cylinders
/ propellor) it meets up with inlets (non-rotating) for fuel & air, that
inject into the appropriate cylinder.....

thoughts everyone?
