The Kurtz bell foundry in Stuttgart supplies Gottlieb Daimler with cast-iron components for his first internal combustion engine with horizontal cylinder. A second, bigger specimen follows in November. Daimler's experimental engine with hot-tube ignition, initially gas-driven, goes into testing and becomes the basis for the first high-speed petrol engine.

Gottlieb Daimler takes out patents to protect first the "gas engine with hot tube ignition" and, a week later, the "regulation of engine speed by exhaust valve control". The two patents, registered on 4 and 27 August respectively under German patent nos. DRP 28 022 and DRP 28 243, provide the basis for the world’s first high-speed combustion engine.
