Description:

Claim:

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in oil or gas engines, and has for its object to produce means for automatically regulating the time at which the effective explosion occurs during the cycle of such oil or gas engine. It is well known that the provision of means whereby variably-timed ignition can be effected enables greater uniform power and also greater range of speed to be obtained from an internal-combustion engine. Among methods used for effecting variable timing of ignition, varying the time at which the igniter comes into contact with the explosion charge and varying the rapidity with which the effective explosion follows the contact of the igniter with the charge may be mentioned.
