Extract

In this paper the author does not propose to deal with any particular form or type of engine or fuel-injection system, but to discuss some of the problems which are encountered when engaged on the development of a high-speed compression-ignition engine.

The main problems to be solved consist in devising suitable means for utilising to the fullest possible extent the oxygen available within the cylinder and for avoiding the production of smoke and noise and, in so far as it is connected with combustion conditions, smell.
