engine. The question I wish answered is

intake valve open before or after top dead
center is reached by the piston and when
the intake valve closes, after or before
the bottom dead center is reached by the
piston in degrees and when the exhaust
valves open before or after bottom dead

Q:-What is the number of candle
power hours in kilowatt of electricity?
S. G.
A:-The common tungsten Tor Mazda)
lamps now in use take about one watt of
power hour per candle. Consequently one
kilowatt hour gives about 1000 candle
hours. The exact amount depends on the
size of the lamps used, for the larger
lamps are more efficient than the smaller
ones. The 1O00-watt gas-filled lamp is
supposed to give exactly one candle per
watt while the largest and smallest sizes
in common use run from 80 to 40 per cent
above and below this in efficiency.
