This book is based, on about twelve years experience of Diesel Engines, mainly from the drawing-office point of view, and is intended to present an account of the main considerations which control the design of these engines. The author ventures to hope that, in addition to designers and draughtsmen, to whom such a book as this is most naturally addressed, there may be other classes of readers for example, Diesel Engine users and technical students to whom the following pages may be of interest. The text deals mainly with general principles as exemplified by examples of good modern practice, and it has not been possible to notice every constructional novelty. Apology is perhaps called for on account of the omission of any special treatment of the stepped piston and the opposed piston types of engine. These, however, are the specialities of a comparatively limited number of manufacturers, and have been very fully described and illustrated in the technical press. The existence in its fourth edition of Chalkley swell-known book on The Diesel Engine forL and and Marine Purposes has enabled the present writer to proceed to details with a minimum of preliminary discussion. A number of references to other books and papers have been inserted in order to avoid, so far as possible, overlapping with other sources of information. The author has pleasure in acknowledging his indebtedness to :M r. P. H. Smith (who has at all times placed his unique experience of Diesel Engines at the disposal of the author) for several corrections and suggestions ;to Mr. L. Johnson, M.A. (C antab.), for his very careful and patient revision of the proofs ;to the authors wife for assistance with the manuscript and for compiling the index. H. F. P. P.

The book is scanned so the titles for chapter show up in the text. I'm not finding the useful information I was looking for.
