Comparison with gasoline engines; large low-speed Diesels and difference between low and high-speed characteristics; very high cylinder pressures necessary; fear of effect on light construction unfounded because Packard Diesel weighs less than 3 lb. per hp. and is capable of withstanding cylinder pressures in excess of 1200 lb.; Diesel advantages; probable effects of Diesel engine on airplane design.
