dbo:abstract Sir Dugald Clerk (* 31. März 1854 in Glasgow; † 12. November 1932 in , Surrey, England) war ein schottischer Erfinder, der 1878 den ersten Zweitaktmotor entwickelte. Der Motor wurde am 11. Februar 1879 unter D.R.P. Nr. 8745 patentiert, 1881 auch in England. Das geschah aus der Notwendigkeit heraus, das bestehende Patent auf den Viertaktmotor zu umgehen, das Nicolaus Otto 1876 erhalten hatte. Er brauchte für ein Arbeitsspiel zwar nur eine Kurbelwellenumdrehung, war aber von heutigen Zweitaktern noch weit entfernt. Sein Motor hatte noch einen zweiten Zylinder zur Aufladung, was 1891 von vereinfacht wurde. Er hatte im Alter von 14 Jahren als Mechaniker begonnen und 5 Jahre später sein Studium der Chemie begonnen am in Glasgow bei Thomas Edward Thorpe und am in Leeds. Ein Lenoir-Gasmotor weckte sein Interesse für Maschinenbau. Ab 1886 lebte er in Birmingham, wo er zu Gasmotoren forschte und mit G. C. Marks eine erfolgreiche Beratungs- und Patent-Agentur gründete. Einer ihrer Kunden war Frederick W. Lanchester, für den er 1890 den Anlasser patentierte. Im Ersten Weltkrieg entwickelte er eine Maschine zur Produktion von Munition, für die er 1917 zum Knight Commander des Order of the British Empire geschlagen wurde. 1922 wurde er zum Fellow der Royal Society of Edinburgh gewählt.
