Description: Sir Harry Ricardo was an engineer, scientist, inventor and designer who had a profound effect on the world-wide development of the internal combustion engine. Ricardo`s book, The Internal Combustion Engine, published in the early 1920s, and later revised as The High Speed Internal Combustion Engine, remained inprint for almost 50 years and was required reading for mechanical engineering students. His achievements were repeatedly honoured throughout the automobile and aircraft industries during his lifetime. As a consultant engineer, Ricardo played a vital role in bringing about British victory in two world wars and made a major contribution towards the development of the internal-combustion engine for both automobile and aircraft use. Today, Ricardo Plc remains the world`s foremost internal-combustion engine research establishment
