The Internal-Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice
When the author undertook the task of teaching in the field of internal combustion engines at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it was evident that commercial development had been largely empirical and that a rational quantitative basis for design, and for the analysis of performance, was almost entirely lacking.
In n attempt to fill this gap, the Sloan Laboratories for Aircraft and Automotive Engines were established in 1929 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, largely through the generosity of Mr. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., and the untiring enthusiasm of the late Samuel S. Stratton, then President of MIT.
The intervening years have been spent in research into the behavior of internal-combustion engines and how to control it. A large amount of the laboratory work has been done by students as part of their requirements for graduation. Other parts have been done by the teaching staff and the professional laboratory staff with funds provided by government or by industry.
