The Design and Construction of Internal Combustion Engines A Handbook for Designers and Builders of Gas and Oil Engines

Abstract

THIS work is the most complete and elaborate treatise on the gas-engine which has ever been published, as will be realised when it is stated that there are 664 pages of comparatively small-type letterpress, 728 figures, and 36 folding plates. There is a certain amount of the usual padding, namely, photographic reproductions of large and small gas-engines of various makes, as well as records of tests, but there is also a large amount of original work and practical information which, owing to the position of the author, viz., chief engineer and director of the Guldner Motoren Gesellschaft, must be regarded as of great value. In the preface to the first edition, the author states:—

The Design and Construction of Internal Combustion Engines. A Handbook for Designers and Builders of Gas and Oil Engines.

By Hugo Güldner. Translated from the second revised edition, with additions on American engines, by Prof. H. Diederichs. Pp. xix + 672. (London: Constable arid Co., Ltd., 1910.) Price 42s. net.
