THE ULTIMATE ENGINE.

FRENCH ENGINEERS BREAKING NEW GROUND.

A two-stroke engine arranged. on highly original Kinos, has just been constructed in Paris, and is now undergoing experimental. bench tests. This engine is the invention of M. Michel Wolf, who calls his production a

Motour Bichambre." The most curious feature of the "Wolff Blohambre "is the fact that the explosion does not take place in the cylinder, but inside a sort of combined rotary valve and com- bustion head, which turns at one-i quartor crankshaft speed. A powerful piston-type induqtiön pump is driven by an eccentric from the crankshaft and delivers gas to the induction manifold at a high pressure, corresponding to' Four the compression pressure of an Five orthodox engine.
