Excerpt from The Gas-Engine Handbook: A Manual of Useful Information for the Designer and Engineer

It has been the endeavor, to place within the smallest possible compass a number of useful rules and hints, that may be of value not only to the designer, but also to the engineer who has the care of a gas engine. The chapter on testing has been given more attention than might perhaps have been thought necessary in a book of this size, but it also covers many points regard ing the calculation of horsepowers and other items purposely omitted from the other portions of the book. This portion of the work was founded upon the methods employed at the Cornell University.

The author has drawn, in a few instances, from other works upon the same subject. In preparing the matter on design, he has received many useful hints from the works of Mr. Frederick Grover and Mr. William Norris, the two English writers alreadyreferred to. A part of the data in the table of heat values is from a similar table in the work of Mr. Gardner D. Hiscox. The mechanical tables are from various pocket books and from the works already referred to.

Excerpt from The Gas-Engine Handbook: A Manual of Useful Information for the Designer and Engineer

It was during the preparation of a series of textbooks on the gas engine for the International Correspondence Schools, that the author was most forcibly impressed with the dearth of matter upon American practice in this motive power. It is a recognized fact that designers on the other side of the Atlantic do not follow methods that meet with the approval of engineers in the United States, yet the only truly valuable works on gas-engine design that have made their appearance in the English language are by English authors. Unhappily, the average gas-engine manufacturer in this country, guards any information he may possess with the jealousy that is scarcely to be explained on ordinary grounds. While there are a number of good works on steam-engine design, the gas engine has been surprisingly neglected.
