The Quiescent-Chamber Type Compression-Ignition Engine
A 1937 NASA technical report on quiescent-chamber compression-ignition (diesel-type) engine performance, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server for engineers and researchers. Its pictures are plain engineering charts of horsepower, cylinder pressure and fuel consumption against fuel quantity, plus a photograph of the test engine and dynamometer rig; a designer might take the restrained grey-line graph style and the dense machinery photograph as period technical imagery.
