Aero Engines: With A General Introductory Account of the Theory of the Internal Combustion Engine (Eighth Edition), 1917

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 076, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180004
Abstract PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. A short course of lectures on Aero Engines was given by the author at the Northampton Polytechnic Institute during 1914. On the suggestion of Mr Charles E. Larard, M.Inst.C.E., M,I.M.E., Head of the Engineering Department, the matter contained in these lectures - necessarily somewhat rearranged and largely extended-is now issued in book form, in the hope that it may be found of assistance to a wider circle of readers.The engines are classified as...

Aircraft Engines: Theory, Analysis, Design and Operation, 1936

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 083, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180011
Abstract PREFACE: This volume has been prepared with a twofold aim: 1. It is designed for a textbook in engineering courses for undergraduate and post-graduate students. 2. It forms a collection of material which is largely new, and which should prove valuable to anyone concerned with design, construction, operation, or maintenance of aircraft engines. This book covers the basic theory and principles of aircraft-engine design and operation, and the authors believe it to be one of three volumes...

Aircraft Engines: Volume One, 1940

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 075, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180003
Topics Document Type: TextbookFrom Preface: "The object of the present book, which is the first of two volumes on aircraft engines, is an endeavour to present the principles and results of relevant research work upon internal combustion engines, for the benefit of those entering or already engaged in aircraft engineering work. It is also written in order to fill a gap existing in aeronautical literature, between the more advanced specialist books on theory and design and the elementary...

A.M. Fuel Systems for Aircraft, 1938

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 087, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180016
Abstract Dr. Demtchenko's work is a compilation of theoretical studies of, and practical experiments with, fuel feed systems. It is presented in such clear form that theorists and technicians alike will find in it a valuable guide to this subject which is of such importance to aeronautical security. Although theory here has been gone into with some detail, its practical application has in no case been omitted and the work as a whole constitutes a veritable treatise on fuel systems.NB:...

Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design (First Edition), 1925

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 084, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180012
Abstract Introduction to Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design The present volume is the first of the AIRPLANE ENGINE DESIGN SERIES to be presented. This volume will include the major portion of engine design problems requiring mathematics and, naturally, the analytical methods treated in the other volumes in connection with the design of other component parts of the engine must frequently be referred to the dynamics of the engine as herein treated. An effort has been made to simplify and condense...

Engines (Part I): Dealing With the Maintenance and Repair of the Armstrong Siddeley "Cheetah IX," the "Tiger VIII," and "Lynx IVC" Engines, 1940

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 082, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180010
Abstract PREFACE: Three outstanding examples from the Armstrong Siddeley range of engines form the subject-matter of the present volume. The engines in question are: the "Cheetah IX," the " Tiger VIII," and the " Lynx IVC." Each section begins by describing briefly the leading features of the engine under discussion. Detailed instructions are then given for the dismantling, inspection, and re-assembling of the component parts. Broadly speaking, each section deals with what may be described " top...

Guide to Pre-1930 Aircraft Engines, 1972

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 092, Book: Catalog Number: TBD (Update after cataloged) >> should be TL701 .R46
Identifier: 20212025
Abstract The GUIDE TO PRE-1930 AIRCRAFT ENGINES is offered as testimony and a source of reference for the aircraft engines of that "golden age" of aviation. It brings together under one cover the details and important information concerning the great rarity of American aircraft powerplants which contributed to America's tremendous achievements in aviation. Because of the variety of combinations possible between engines and carburetors and propellers, each engine is covered only in its basic-design...
