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 writh the approval of engineers in the United States, yet the only truly valuable works on gas-engine design that have made their appearance in theB nglish language are byE nglish 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.
