Lubrication Problems in Two‐stroke Petrol Engines

Abstract

Two papers were presented at a meeting of the Automobile Division in conjunction with the Lubrication Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London on 10th February, dealing with the lubrication of small 2‐stroke petrol engines. These were as follows:— “Problems Encountered in the Lubrication of small 2‐Stroke Engines,” by A. Towle, M.Sc., M.I.Mech.E., (Lubrizol International Laboratories), and “Influence of the Lubricating Oil on Some Operating Problems of the 2‐Stroke Gasoline Engine.” by D. W. Golothan, A.M.I.Mech.E. (“Shell” Research Ltd.). We give shortened versions of these papers. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers welcome written communications on these papers, which should reach them at 1 Birdcage Walk, Westminster, London, S.W.1., before 30th April. Those wishing to do this can obtain copies of the complete papers from the Secretary of the Institution. The meetings were held at short notice, but in spite of this about 150 members were present and the ensuing discussion showed the importance and interest in this subject.
