Report presenting an apparatus for making quantitative measurements of the vibrations excited by detonation in the cylinder head of an aircraft engine. The apparatus consisted of pick-up units, an amplifying system, and a cathode-ray oscillograph with a high-speed-camera recording system. A large number of records were taken under various operating conditions in a single-cylinder aircraft engine.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
