Summary "Gas-Engines and Producer-Gas Plants" by Rodolphe Edgard Mathot is a technical treatise focused on the principles and practicalities of gas-engine design and operation, written in the early 20th century. This publication serves as a comprehensive guide for engineers and technical professionals, detailing the selection, installation, and optimal performance of gas-engines and producer-gas plants. The book likely covers a range of topics from basic engineering principles to specific operational procedures relevant to gas and oil engines. The opening of the book introduces the author and a brief overview of the importance of understanding gas-engines, particularly in comparison to steam-engines. Mathot outlines the necessity for specialized knowledge in operating gas-engines due to their unique mechanisms and requirements. He highlights key topics, such as the various types of fuel, ignition methods, and essential care to ensure efficient engine performance. The preface by Dugald Clerk reinforces Mathot's authority in the field and emphasizes the manual's relevance for effective gas-engine installation and maintenance.
