=Allen, Horace.= Gas and oil engines: a treatise on the design, construction and working of internal-combustion engines. $5. Scientific pub. co., Manchester, Eng.
“A very large part of the book contains more or less elaborate descriptions of a large number of gas and gasoline engines; these descriptions, in general accompanied with good illustrations, are preceded by a consideration of details of the engines, which arrangement seems just opposite to what it ought to be.”—Engin. N.

=Allen, John Kermott=, ed. Sanitation in the modern home. $2. Domestic engineering.
