Abstract
January 26, 1891. Nicolas August Otto died.—Originally a commercial traveller, Otto began work on the gas engine in 1854. In 1867 with Langen he brought out the Langen and Otto atmospheric engine, and in 1876 he introduced the engine working on the Otto cycle, which proved to be the turning point in the history of gas motors.
