In author's opinion, main compressor of marine Diesel engines is usually made needlessly large, and better efficiency in operation and saving in cost, weight, power, etc., would be obtained if capacity were reduced. Discusses functions and construction of auxiliary compressors. (meeting Jan. 27, 1922) (See also Engineering, vol. 113, no. 2928, Feb. 10, 1922, pp. 179-183, 26 figs)
