Comparative thermal efficiency tests of alcohol and kerosene used as a fuel on the Mietz and Weiss oil combustion engine
An undergraduate engineering thesis of 1909 by Martin Joel Anderson and Edward Franklin Irving at the University of Illinois, comparing alcohol and kerosene as fuels in a Mietz and Weiss oil engine, written for faculty examiners. The plates are hand-plotted performance curves inked on printed orange grid paper, with hand-lettered captions, axis labels and small circle data points—useful for graph-paper textures, drafting lettering, and sparse line-chart forms.
