Take a look a the far left most nipple. That's where it goes.
That's why I suggested a piston compression tester. You can either buy one for $30-40 or borrow/rent one. Just have a friend come over for 30 minutes to give you a hand with the test.

I actually just tested my engine with a piston compression tester. I got 3 even bounces of 60 psi while holding down the release valve on both rotors. According to rotaryresurrection.com I should have seen around 35 PSI, so how accurate is that information really?
I also only got a peak hold of 90 psi.
I guess as long as you see some kind of consistancy in each compression chamber, you can kind of judge you motor's health, like majik said.
