Excerpt from Papers on Internal Combustion Engines
The heavy oil engine was brought forth at a time when there were abundant mechanical resources for its development and in consequence there has been rapid progress in design. One of the results of this quick evolution has been that this type of engine has gone ahead of popular ideas and is intimately known to only a comparatively small section of marine engineers.
The desire to rectify this state of affairs led the Council of the Institute of Marine Engineers to organise and publish the series of lectures which comprise this volume; the need for such a book seemed to be pronounced, for although many valuable works on the theory and design of internal combustion engines exist, it was considered that the experiences of those who had been in charge of them in the experimental stage and in service would be of great value to those who desired a closer acquaintance with this new form of prime mover.
The Council accept no responsibility for the opinions expressed in the following papers, the diversity of which is eloquent of the need for further test, so that the best form may be decided upon, but they desire to offer the thanks of the Institute of Marine Engineers to those who have, in the midst of other exacting duties, found time and care to write these papers, which, with the discussions and notes thereon are now put before engineers, and the marine engineer in particular, in the hope and belief that the effort will prove to have been well worth while.
