Superchargers

Abstract

It seems hardly necessary to use a supercharger near sea level simply to mix the gases. The importance of the supercharger will increase with the use of heavy fuels. Before long we shall probably be using two-stroke-cycle and four-stroke-cycle scavenging engines on airplanes. In accord with the present tendency, we shall present here the French solutions of the problem in a practical rather than in a purely theoretical manner.
