Or 4I flU lPREFACE THE SIXTH EDITION. Many important changes have been made in the constructive details of gas engines since the first part of this work was published, and oil engines using heavy oil have become practicable motors, so that it has become necessary to bring the information in this book thoroughly up to date. In doing this the author thought it better to make additions rather than alterations on the original, and accordingly the first part of the book is retained in its original form, and two parts have been added :the second part deals with modern gas engines, both impulse-every-revolution andO tto cycle ;and the third part deals with the oil engine. The first part of the book thus remains in the form in which it is familiar to many engineers ;indeed, the author may say with truth all engineers interested in the gas engine throughout the world, because the book has been translated and published in German, and many parts extracted in French works, while it is largely used in America both by engineers and in the engineering classes of the Universities.
