All factors exclusive of reliability can be evaluated so as to provide good basis for choosing engine; effect of changes in engine weight on operating cost; tables show effect of increased engine weight, operating cost, and operation-expense items that are affected; increasing weight of 200-hp. engine from 400 to 494 lb. would be justified provided increases in time between partial and major overhauls and total life could be correspondingly increased; engine resistance.
