Requirements for cleaner and more efficient engines have stimulated a search for alternatives to the conventional spark-ignition engine. So far, the defects of the alternative engines are clearer than the virtues. The following engines are compared: spark ignition, diesel, vapor-cycle, Stirling, and gas turbine. (Author/MA)

Presented are aspects of emission control systems of 1970-71 vehicles and devices which are presently being engineered to meet the 1975 regulations. (GB)
