THE 2-cyl “compound” engine on which the data reported in this paper were obtained is provided with a high-pressure cylinder, and a low-pressure cylinder which serves as a compressor as well as a working cylinder.The primary consideration in this work was the extracting of additional work from the already partially expanded gases from the high-pressure cylinder; a secondary consideration was the use of the same low-pressure cylinder as a second-stage compressor to aid in supercharging the high-pressure cylinder.In reporting test results covering the development and testing program on the 2-cyl test unit, indicator diagrams showing the power developed in both high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders are presented. The method of summarizing the test results is by tabulating the representative runs and plotting the final runs. Some results and conclusions follow: Although the results of the test are not as good as desired, Mr. Prescott concludes, it is considered that the project is worthy of further development and research.
