High Speed Internal Combustion Engines #227755

The present volume is the outcome of an endeavour to collect and to classify, in as brief a form as possible, the more important information relating to the subject of high speed internal combustion engines, as viewed from the theoretical and experimental sides. Although many excellent treatises upon the subject Of internal combustion engines have appeared from time to time, and some apology would at first appear to be necessary in introducing yet another work upon the subject, yet it must be acknowledged that the majority Of books hitherto written have been chiefly concerned with the heavier, and slow speed types of engine, and that there exists the necessity for a work of the present nature.
