The following discussion of gas and oil engines is presented in the manner which it is believed is the most suitable for a textbook for class instruction and for directing laboratory experimentation, as well as for meeting the needs of those who wish to learn to operate commercially and to test. The general consecutive order is: Descriptive, operative, testing for faults, theoretical, results of trials. The latter portion deals somewhat briefly with thermodynamics and theoretical cycles. Gas producers are considered briefly from both the practical and theoretical viewpoints, the aim being only to give a clear insight of the principles and methods of manufacturing gas for power purposes. The methods of locating and eliminating troubles have been given in considerable detail. The writers experience in training something more than a himdred men in the commercial operation of gas and oil engines has been fully convincing as to the need of complete instruction in this particular. The illustrations are, with one or two exceptions, representative of American practice, but the text is based on information gained by personal observation of motors in Germany, Belgium, France, andE ngland, as well as operating experience in A merica. The proof was kindly read by Mr. Charles E. Ferris, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and the electrical portion also by Mr. Charles E. Perkins, Professor of Electrical Engineering, both in the University ofT ennessee. The criticisms and suggestions of these gentlemen led to important modifications and additions. F. R. J. December
