Boosted performance of a compression-ignition engine with a displaced piston
This is a 1936 NACA technical note on boosted performance of a compression-ignition engine with a displaced piston, issued by the NASA Technical Reports Server collection for engineers and researchers of aeronautical engines. Its pictures are dense engineering charts of brake and indicated mean effective pressure, fuel consumption, injection timing and cylinder pressure plotted against fuel quantity and boost pressure, with curves in ink on squared grids; a designer might borrow the clean grid layouts, labelled axes and restrained line-and-marker plotting style.
