“ ... This might be called a "sketch book of engines." Pictures have been substituted for words wherever possible, and the technical language has been held to a minimum. Most people today have at least a nodding acquaintance with the internal combustion engine. To the great majority it is what makes an automobile go. But to others it may be the motive power for a tractor or truck, a cruiser or a tug-boat, a fighter plane or a transport. It may furnish power and light to an isolated farm, to a saw-mill in the woods, or to an entire city. For today the internal combustion engine has invaded all fields, from the bottom of the ocean to the limits of the heavens.

Excerpt from A Power Primer: An Introduction to the Internal Combustion Engine, Automobile, Aircraft, Diesel The connecting rod is a straight rod with one end fastened to a pin or pivot in the piston so the lower end can swing. The crank shaft is a shaft with its ends mounted in oiled bear ings so it can revolve, and thus the offset portion in the middle, the crank, describes a circle as the shaft turns around. The lower end of the connecting rod is fastened to the crank, so it must follow the same circular path. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
