A poppet valve operating system for an internal combustion engine includes a finger follower which is driven by an intermediate rocker. The intermediate rocker selectively converts motion imparted by a drive cam into either a purely translational trajectory, or into a mixed translational and rotational trajectory, so as to open a poppet valve which is ultimately actuated by a finger follower interposed between the intermediate rocker and the valve.
