Investigation of Ignition and Combustion Processes of Diesel Engines Operating with Turbulence and Air-storage Chambers
This is a 1938 NASA technical report on diesel engine ignition and combustion, with chamber and turbulence experiments, presented as a series of sequential photographic frame strips for engineers. The pictures are grainy high-contrast sequences of fuel-combustion flashes captured across timed frames, each strip showing bright flame blooms and dark cylinder-like forms that a designer could use as a study of motion, rhythm, and repeated sequential panels.
