Excerpt from The Internal Combustion Engine: Being a Text Book on Gas, Oil and Petrol Engines, for the Use of Students and Engineers
At the end of each chapter will be found some problems for solution, drawn chiefly from the examination papers set at Cambridge, at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and by the Board of Education and other Government Departments. These have been arranged by Mr. Piggott, and his solutions of them are given at the end of the book.
