    The Sorg Manufacturing Company was formed by William A. Sorg to develop and produce gasoline engines. Sorg was an inventor who held multiple patents for improved internal combustion engines from the 1910s through the 1920s. Sorg’s 1914 patent for a combustion engine describes his invention: “My invention relates to an improved combustion engine and is adapted to `develop power more efliciently under variations of fuel supply than hertofore with my invention the fuel charge, inert gases and a volume of air are formed in separate strata in the combustion chamber of the engine during compression stroke, the stratum of air being inversely proportionate in amount tothe stratum of fuel charge under variations in the amount of the latter. In this manner when the amount of load or fuel charge is changed, the compression of the charge owing to the unchanged volume in the combustion chamber remains uniform and in consequence the efficiency, reliability and effectiveness of operation of the engine is increased. Further the stratication of the fuel, air and inert gases causes the entire contents of the combustion chamber to be heated and expanded evenly and aided by the progressive action of combustion in the engine delivers a constant force to the moving element thereof during its working stroke.”
