Keep care with this book, if you find one!
Many theoretics are out of order today. e.g. "Inlet valve must open 
after the piston started moving down. The inflowing air must be 
succed into the cylinder" (my own re-translation into english)
That was in 1926, and a one liter racing-engine had about 50HP ( 
without compressor)
Today engines have both vales wide open in DTC
