Gas-Engines and Producer-Gas Plants A Practice Treatise Setting Forth the Principles of Gas-Engines and Producer Design, the Selection and Installation of an Engine, Conditions of Perfect Operation, Producer-Gas Engines and Their Possibilities, the Care of Gas-Engines and Producer-Gas Plants, with a Chapter on Volatile Hydrocarbon and Oil Engines

"Gas-Engines and Producer-Gas Plants" by Rodolphe Edgard Mathot is a manual created for engineers and technical experts at the start of the 1900s, revealing the inner workings of gas-engines and their systems. The book acts as a deep exploration of gas-engine technology. It goes over how to choose, set up, and keep gas-engines and their plants running smoothly. It begins by stressing the importance of knowing how gas-engines work, especially when compared to steam-engines. It points out that running gas-engines needs specific skills because of their unique designs. The author highlights important areas such as different kinds of fuels, how ignition works, and the necessary care to keep engines working well, plus the foreword validates the manual's importance for installing and caring for gas-engines.
