In a combustion timing control system of the type wherein peak combustion temperature is sensed and combustion initiation timing is adjusted in closed loop to maintain peak combustion pressure at a desired constant crankshaft rotational angle, the combustion pressure signal is processed in apparatus having differentiating elements with a first time constant, smoothing integrating elements with a second time constant and further elements effective to vary both first and second time constants inversely with crankshaft rotational speed, wherein signal to noise ratio is optimized over the entire range of said speed.

Peak combustion pressure controlled spark timing control system with

A plurality of parallelepiped blocks having varying heights, planar sides and a curved upper surface are connected together by special pin and hole interlocks randomly spaced in predetermined locations to form a three dimensional puzzle with at least a curved upper surface. Two or more puzzles can be made by initially assembling the blocks into a polyhedron with six rectangular faces and sawing along a predetermined path to separate the polyhedron into individual puzzles.
