Info: Ziemlich wenig Inhalt, vielleicht will es jemand fertigstellen.

Der Skinner Oil Rectifier ist eine Vorrichtung an früheren Verbrennungsmotoren welche Verunreinigungen im Öl entfernen soll um Ablagerungen im Kurbelwellengehäuse zu verhindern. Gleichzeitig wirkt der Rectifier als frühe Form der Abgasreinigung.

Packard theorized that the oil was picking up fuel residue on the cylinder walls, thereby diluting the oil. To 'rectify' the situation, tubes were installed into the lowest ring groove to suck out the oil. The oil went into the 'rectifier' where it was cooked on the exhaust manifold. the 'light ends' rose and were returned to the carb; the heavy oil was returned to the crankcase.

dropped later in 1926 when the new series Packards (4th series six and 3d series eight) came out. It was an interesting idea, it used engine heat to burn off impurities from the engine oil, but it just didn't work.
