The following description is taken from the first appearance of this kit in an Airfix Catalogue.
This model, the latest in the Collectors' Series range of model engines, illustates the principle of the Four Stroke Cycle engine. Internal combustion engines first appeared in 1680 and used gunpowder as a fuel, but it was not until 1860 that the first successful gas driven engine appeared. It was the German Dr. N. A. Otto who made the first practical success of engines operating on the four stroke cycle principle.
