Product Information

Lyle Cummins continues his series on the internal combustion engine's heritage. Internal Fire , his introductory volume, is in its second edition. The author is uniquely qualified to tell the diesel story. Raised in the family of America's automotive diesel pioneer, his career as a mechanical engineer includes the design, development and marketing of diesel engine retarders and fuel systems for which he was granted five U .S. patents. He has received several notable awards for his writings on I-C engine history. Cummins has devoted over two decades exhaustively researching his subject in corporate and museum archives throughout Europe and the United States to provide this definitive history of the diesel.

Cummins uses Diesel's own design and test notebooks, original sources in the archives of early manufacturers, and the personal records of many of the engine's innovaters to interweave Rudolf Diesel's life and ideas with the people and events contributing to the early development of his engine. . . . Highly recommended for library collections in the history of technology, mechanical engineering design, and operating engineers/mechanical engineering technology., [In Cummins'] second major work . . . there's an abundance of detail . . . What's more, there's grace that's all too often missing amid the denseness of other technical writing., ... eminently readable, even by the mechanically innocent, treating his sub­ject with humor, understanding and affec­tion., This book is a work of considerable importance in that, for the first time, the complete story behind the early development of the diesel engine is comprehensively told in the English language. The volume is in effect two books; one deals with the development of a practical engine from Rudolf Diesel's initial idea and with the engineering life of Diesel himself whilst the other covers a multitude of engines which resulted from that idea. Both parts are, however, linked together so well by the author that they provide a single volume which is easy to read yet informative and enjoyable. . . .The author provide[s) as extensive a collection of illustrations as are likely to be found anywhere on the topic of diesel engines . . . The entire book is a treasury of information on the early years of the prime mover which now powers the world. Highly recommended both for those who simply want to read the early history of the diesel engine and for those who desire a detailed work of reference on the subject. This work is likely to become the standard on the subject., It's a treasure trove of information . . . In short, the world will owe a big round of thanks to Lyle Cummins . . . for completing this very impressive work., If you are in the diesel business, Diesel's Engine is a must for your library. The book is perhaps the most comprehensive and explicit history of our most efficient internal-combustion engine . . ., In both [Internal Fire and Diesel's Engine], Lyle balanced the technical with a great storytelling style and they read like Tom Clancy novels for gearheads., This new book is an enjoyable and informative . . . treatment of the subject, from its conception in the mind of Rudolf Diesel . . . until 1918. The author is eminently qualified to write on this subject., Anyone in search of in-depth knowledge of Rudolf Diesel and his engine will want to make sure to read this book. Cummins presents here, in detailed but very readable text, what may be the definitive work on the subject . . . [It's] 'user­friendly,' and well worth the time spent for the sheer volume of information included., A notable contribution to the history of power technology .... Highly recommend­ed for all libraries., This new and well researched work by Lyle Cummins has at last provided a very readable account of the work and people concerned in the search for a more effi­cient heat engine cycle.
