Diesel, R. Theory and Design of an Efficient Heat Engine to Replace Steam Engines and the Internal Combustion Engines Known Today. Berlin: Springer, 1893.

Darmstaedter, p. 914. First edition. — A very rare description of the engine named after Diesel, which converts the heat energy of the fuel into useful work at approximately twice the rate of steam engines. It was not until 1897–98, after many setbacks, that Diesel was able to realize the described engine with the support of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg and the Krupp company. — Partially slightly browned. Former library copy.
