Charles Fayette Taylor
The MIT Press, 1985
still a classic, but where is a 3rd edition?
Sadly there will be no 3rd edition by Taylor. He died in 1996, at the age of 102. These volumes remain classics. Written by a person whose life spanned most of the development of the internal combustion engine, and who worked for the Wright brothers.
The book gives ...
