	The developments prior to the First World War already led to considerable specific performance, so that our high-speed engines, after appropriate refinement, were particularly suitable for powering aircraft. This application, with its high demands, significantly advanced the general development of the engine. It may be interesting for you to know that Daimler and Benz built a total of 32,000 aircraft engines during the First World War. The most sophisticated designs, such as the 600 hp FM engine with a supercharger (the picture shows a similar engine with a mechanically driven supercharger fan), were, in corresponding versions, the basis for our well-known supercharged cars in later years. You can already see from this example how strongly the various uses of the engines influenced each other and continue to influence them today.

	The external reason for today's invitation from Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft to you, as trade journalists from the relevant press, is the presentation of our new Berlin engine series (MB 851 to 854 and 861 to 864), which will be delivered in air-cooled and, in parallel, water-cooled versions in the 20 to 80 hp power class. We will also be presenting our new large-bore MB 835 engine with 1,400 to 1,800 hp from the Untertürkheim large-bore engine plant. For this reason, I would like to give you some explanations about the technology of the new models and also take this opportunity to say something about the historical development and current status of our stationary engine construction.
