Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...vaporizer to vaporize and ignite the oil pumped into it, it is, at starting, heated by an external lamp; and when the engine has started, this lamp is no longer needed, the required heat being maintained by the internal explosions. (The lamp is unnecessary in the special engine made for the oil fields.) "The oil tank is under the engine, and from it the oil is drawn by a small oilpump, and during the outstroke of the piston, when, as afterwards explained, it is drawing in air, forced into the vaporizer. "On its way the oil passes through a valve-box having two valves, one of which admits it to the vaporizer, the other being opened by the governor (whenever the engine is running too quickly), so as to allow some of the oil to flow back by the waste-pipe into the tank. "The engine works on what is known as the 'Otto four-cycle' plan, the series of operations being completed by every two complete revolutions of the crank. This may be described as follows: --"Starting with the piston right home at the back end of the cylinder, on the fly-wheel being turned round the first outstroke of the piston will be made, drawing in air behind it through the suction-valve. During this time oil has been forced into the vaporizer, and this having been heated, as previously explained, oil vapour is therefore formed. When the piston reaches the end of this first outstroke, the air-valve closes, and the piston on its return stroke forces the air and oil vapour behind it into the remaining space at the end of the cylinder, and through the neck into the vaporizer, thus completing one revolution of the crank. "At this point the heated vaporizer ignites the compressed mixture of oil vapour and air, and supplies the force for the second...
