Summary:

To make higher engine efficiencies possible without making every effort to insure the attainment of this higher efficiency in actual service can seldom be justified. In most cases the wide differennce between the average performance of an engine and that in the laboratory may be attributed to the difficulty of the problem rather than to failure to appreciate its importance. Instances where this difficulty appears to have been surmounted deserve careful study.
