A very simple two-cycle engine was featured in a January 7, 1897, issue of American Machinist magazine. Built by Garrett Engine & Machine Works, this engine could be equipped with electric or hot tube ignition as desired. The pressurized crankcase forced each new fuel charge into the cylinder. Make-and-break ignition was used, but with a unique twist. The igniter was positioned in the head, with the advancing piston tripping the igniter and firing the charge. This eliminated the need for any valve gear mechanism. A belt-driven governor acted upon the fuel supply to regulate the speed.
