A New Monthly Journal
mumpLE PRESS LTD. (pro prietor of The Commercial Motor, The Motor, The Motor Ship, etc.) announces that it is founding a new monthly journal for the purpose of fostering and developing the oil-engine industry. Its title will be The Oil Engine. It will The produced and conducted on the same lines as The Motor Ship and will be of the same size and price, whilst it will he edited by the Editor of The Motor Ship.
The new journal will place before prospective and possible users of oil engines in all parts of the world the advantages of their employment for various purposes, giving facts and figures relating to corresponding installations. It will keep the buyer (no matter the class of oil engine in which, he is interested) fully and accurately informed of every new development, and will have a clearly defined and forceful policy in increasing the adoption of oil engines for all the numerous purposes to which they can be put. It will fight the battles of the oil-engine Industry as a whole against the opposition of other interests.
It is intended to develop in The Oil Engine the scope of oil engines in this country, by demonstrating to the power user its superiority in many cases over electricity from the mains, and this, it is believed, will cause the home demand for oil engines to be Increased.
The possibilities of the oil-engined locomotive are beginning to be understood, but it is necessary for further progress in this field that the facts should he placed continuously before those who are interested, and that everything of importance now being accomplished should be dealt with regularly, month after month, with chapter and verse, until resistance is broken down. The use of large oil engines to take peak loads in power stations is, as yet, only in its infancy, and publicity in a journal such as The Oil Engine will lead to more and rapid progress.
A wider adoption of so-called industrial engines for driving small pumps, compressors, dynamos and for similar services, can undoubtedly be brought about by dealing fully and continuously with the subject in a new journal, whereby all developments can be placed before the prospective user, who will thus come to realize what can be accomplished in each particular case.
The high speed compressionignition engine is rapidly forging ahead as a propelling unit for vehicles, and for other purposes, and whilst motor vehicles will not be dealt with as such in The Oil Engine, the manufacture of the oil engine suitable for them will come within its scope.
The new journal will aim at becoming indispensable, not only to existing or prospective users of the oil engine, but to those who have plant or machinery which might conceivably be utilized with oil-engine drive.
Great importance is attached to the sales abroad. In the overseas market possible users have less chance of keeping in touch with the• latest developments than at home, but a journal such as The Oil Engine will enable them to do this, with great benefit to the industry.
Temple Press Ltd., which prints and publishes six journals appertaining to the internal-combustion engine, has had the publication of this journal under consideration for several years, and has been watching closely the development of the
compression-ignition engine. It is not without interest to mention that, some 30 years ago, the company acquired for its works one of the first Diesel engines to be erected in London, and this is still in use. The management discussed at that time with Dr. Rudolf Diesel personally, during his visit to the company's works, the future of this system of generating power, and has followed the development consistently during the intervening years. Temple Press Ltd., in addition, published a manual at the beginning of 1032 entitled Compression Ignition Engines" (by the Editor of The Commercial Motor), which is now in its second edition and has become the standard reference book on the subject.
