The results of these deter-aiinationa are given in log 10 and the averarre effedtiva valueU3el in the calculations. In a test aade by Professor Roesch, the gas meter wasfound to register 6Tobelow the actual quantity passed and cor-rections were made for this discrepatwy. Corrections werealso iiiade reducing the gas to standard conditions of tenipera-tura and pressure^ 30 mercury and 62° F, both in the enginetests and calorimetric determinations. Air and gas were admit-ted to the mixing valve in about the ratio of six to one by vol-ume. Changes Detemained Upon As already stated, it traa thought the possible maximumpower output of the engine might be incrsased by altering thevalve motion as controlled by the cams. The possibilities inthis respect are limited to changes in (1) the total period dur-ing vrhich the valve is open (8) the pe
