This script was written in 1912 after Diesel’s lecture at the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (Schiffsbautechnische Gesellschaft) in Berlin and deals with Diesel’s experiments in his laboratory. In this reprint of the 1913 original, Diesel offers insights into the idea for and development of his invention, which had been heavily doubted and not considered feasible. His ingenious discoveries went on to revolutionize the automotive industry and accompany it into the present.
