Excerpt from Page's Weekly, Vol. 6: February 3, 1905 In the natural order of things a single-cylinder engine was first built, and its construction and use is continued for all power-driving, purposes except electric lighting where the uneven impulse, on the crank, affects the light, unless an extremely heavy flywheel is used. Fig. 3 shows the crank effort on a 16 by 24 single cylinder engine. Fig. 4 shows the crank effort, velocity curve, and displacement of the crank-pin on a 12 by IS triple-cylinder engine. Fig. 5 shows the same curves for 10 by 24 six-cylinder engine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
