Effect of humidity on some factors of engine performance and of feasibility of using rational power-correction factors shown from test data; single-cylinder engine operated at full throttle used; humidity should be taken into consideration in engine and automobile test work because of its relatively important effect on maximum power, spark-advance requirements, carbureter metering characteristics and radiator performance, and its lesser but measurable effect on detonation.
