✦ Synopsis
This elaborate treatise on gas and oil engines has grown from a small duodecimo volume of 288 pages, first issued in i886, to the imposing quarto, of which the first volume is above designated. The author is a voluminous writer on the subject and the present volume may be regarded as his chef d'oeuvre. It treats of the history and classification of motors, the gas of cities and earburetted air, lean gas, the gas of blast furnaces, acetylene, petroleum, gasolene and alcohol ; of the theory of gas motors, methods of calculating their power, and the results of tests of their efficiency.
