Book excerpt: Excerpt from High Speed Internal Combustion Engines 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. With one or two notable exceptions, the subject of high speed internal combustion engines does not appear to have received, in collective publication form, the attention that its more recent rapid development should merit, The writer has attempted, but with no pretence at completeness, to analyse the more important of the available theoretical and experimental results, and to present them to the reader in some kind of order and sequence. The present volume is intended to form a companion to one upon the subject of high speed internal combustion engine design, so that the prominence given to certain branches of the subject may perhaps be appreciated. The importance and influence of experimental work upon design has been realized, and a chapter upon the methods of measuring the pressures within the cylinder of high speed internal combustion engines has therefore been included. Although the subject matter in the present work has been carefully checked, it is possible that some slips or errors may have passed unnoticed, and the author would be glad if his attention were drawn to same. In conclusion, the writer would like to take this opportunity of acknowledging the kind assistance rendered by Prof. W.Watson and Mr. W. E. Dommett in the preparation of this book.
