Teaching the spark ignition engine

Abstract

A proper understanding of the principles of the spark ignition engine must include an appreciation of the effect of variation in compression ratio; a practical difficulty in achieving this result has for long been the very high cost of variable compression ratio engines, most of which have been primarily intended for industrial use in oil company laboratories and only incidentally for instruction.
