Abstract
The author candidly relates the development of the automobile diesel from his perspective as an active participant of almost fifty years. Anecdotes about people and companies are recorded for the first time. Problems and successes of the past, as well as areas of future concern are detailed. This first of an expected series on automotive diesel engines brings into focus the state-of-the-art of one alternative to the spark ignition engine.
