Summary:

A full-scale, three-dimensional, steady-flow model of the two-stroke engine described in N.A.C.A. Technical Note No. 674 was constructed for the purpose of observing the scavenging-air flow obtained with the various inlet-port arrangements tested in the actual engine. Based on experience gained from correlation of the flow tests with engine tests, several piston-head shapes were developed, and the most promising were tested in the engine. Several modifications of the successful round-edge piston previously used, were also tested. Three types of cylinder head; spherical, cylindrical, and flat in cross section were tried, first in the flow model and then in the engine. The flat head was modified by milling a portion of the surface away to form steps. The cylindrical and modified flat heads were run at various angles to the plane of symmetry.
