Artifact Overview
August Mietz and Carl Weiss formed their engine manufacturing company in 1894. Rudolph Diesel held tight patents over the ignition system for his engines, so Mietz and Weiss produced two-stroke, semi-diesel engines that depended on a hot bulb to vaporize oil before compression and ignition. This catalog from 1905 featured Mietz and Weiss engines designed for use in watercraft.
