| Hi
| 
| I've been saving this question, waiting for the list to come up :-)
| 
| Found the following in my archives (Read pile of paper, we're moving 
soon,
| only reason I found it :) :
| 
| SENSORS magazine (That's all I know about it) May 1989, p.58
| 
| "Engine Combustion Sensor
| 
| Kistler Instrument Corp., Amherst NY has announced the Type 6051 
miniature
| transducer for measuring combustion pressures in low-displacement,
| high-efficiency multivalve engines. The unit requires a bore of 7.5mm 
using
| a 5mm thread for direct mounting in cylinder. The finite elements method 
was
| used in the design process to ensure the sensor's accuracy and 
durability.
| It can operate at temperatures up to 400C. High-frequency response allows
| the unit to make measurements during engine knocking conditions."
| 
| I assume these things are used on test engines to create the map for
| commercial EFI units. But it would be nice to see exactly what the 
pressure
| in the cylinder is, and solve knock detection at the same time.
| 
| Anybody live near Amherst, NY :-)
