Two-Stroke Cycle HOAE
Chronology 1910-Present

All two-stroke cycle engines that have been reported in the text are listed here in chronological order. The country of manufacture or conversion is in italics. The bold entries in the Manufacturer & Model column are the U.S. military designations. When there are several engines introduced in the same year, they are listed alphabetically by the manufacturer's name. Within each year for the same manufacturer, the engines are listed by increasing displacement.

The dates given in this table are approximate. It should be borne in mind that these dates are not suitable for the establishment of any historical priority, but rather are presented to show general trends over time.
