Correction of Temperatures of Air-Cooled Engine Cylinders for Variation in Engine and Cooling Conditions
This is a 1939 NASA technical report, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server, on measuring and correcting cylinder temperatures of air-cooled aircraft engines under varying engine and cooling conditions. Its pictures show a test engine on a dynamometer stand, a schematic of the orifice tank and air-flow test setup, and front and rear views of cylinder heads fitted with numbered thermocouple leads. A designer might take from them the stark, diagram-like look of engineering test documentation: numbered callouts, plain line drawings, and gritty black-and-white photographs of machinery.
