In continuation of my previous work upon the mechanism of combustion,* I was enabled, in 1906, with the aid of funds provided by the Government Grant Committee to instal at Leeds University a complete apparatus for the study of gaseous explosions under high initial pressures. The present memoir contains a description of the installation, together with the principal results obtained therewith up to the time of my leaving Leeds in 1912, when the apparatus was removed to the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. My previous work (loc. cit .)had enabled me to put forward a new theory of the mechanism of hydrocarbon combustion, based on an experimental study of the whole range of conditions between slow combustion at relatively low temperatures and explosive combustion (including detonation) at initial pressures of between 270 and 1180 mm.
