Two stroke engines provide high specific power for lightweight [[motorcycle]]s as well as chainsaws. An example of a large application is locomotive engines of the 1800-1900s. | Two stroke engines provide high specific power for lightweight [[motorcycle]]s as well as chainsaws.

Dugald Clark is attributed with inventing the two stroke cycle around 1880. His engines had a separate charging cylinder. Joseph Day is credited with the "crank case" scavenged engine using the area below the piston as a charging pump. Frederick Cock is credited for the piston controlled inlet port engine. | Dugald Clark is attributed with inventing the two stroke cycle around 1880. His engines had a separate charging cylinder.
