Abstract
MR. RICARDO has completed the first volume of his promised book on the internal combustion engine, and according to the preface “hopes shortly to be able to complete the second.” Seeing that the present volume deals entirely with the slow-speed engine, and was for the most part written many years ago, it is to the volume to come, dealing with the modern high-speed engine and embodying the results of recent researches, that the readers of NATURE will turn with greater interest. Mr. Ricardo is giving us two books rather than two volumes of one book, and it is a pity therefore that the volume now completed is not provided with an index.
The Internal-Combustion Engine.
By Harry R. Ricardo. Vol. 1: Slow-speed Engines. Pp. vii + 488. (London and Glasgow: Blackie and Son, Ltd., 1922.) 30s. net.
