To compliment Dr. Dartnell's emphasis on easing our pain, with science and technology, beyond a cave and three stone fires, I want H.V.A.C. The Allen Dense Air Machine requires three pistons, a crankshaft and some cooling tubing.

Thanks Bill. Do you have a good link for the Allen Dense Air Machine - it sounds interesting?

Regret delayed response. The below is an online extension of my favorite reference books. The Wiley series (circa 19th century +) covers some great old subjects. Until you asked for a link I didn't know the website existed! This link is a direct copy of the original text from Kent's Mechanical Engineering Handbook.
