The last, while associated with Cummins Engine Company, was the Model A rated 85 hp at 2200 rpm. The author highlights various steps between these two engines, including race car, automobile, locomotive, and truck applications.The last half of the paper describes in detail Cummins' last engine: one run on natural gas by spark ignition. It is a 4-cycle, 3-cyl, barrel type with a design rating of 125 hp at 3000 rpm
