SEVERAL 2-stroke-cycle diesel engines of European manufacture are described in this paper.The 2-stroke-cycle diesel was late to appear in the automotive scene in Europe, but noteworthy developments have taken place recently, according to the authors. In England, a couple of successful uniflow engines were placed on the market, while on the Continent the loop-scavenged engine is receiving most of the attention.The authors feel that this is not a step backward dictated by European poverty, but perhaps a step forward toward compactness and simplicity.SEVERAL 2-stroke-cycle diesel engines of European manufacture are described in this paper.The 2-stroke-cycle diesel was late to appear in the automotive scene in Europe, but noteworthy developments have taken place recently, according to the authors.
