A number of interesting sounding NASA document titles concerning the
rotary engine can be found at the link :

wankel was the keyword.  Question is, can this stuff be obtained
(reasonably priced)?  Or is a library with these articles available
to the public anywhere?  Perhaps a university?

UCLA has most of this stuff. What they don't have is SAE. Cost was sited as
the reason. In my experience SAE has gone down hill lately as the automotive
industry has become so competitive nobody publishes anything of real value
anymore IMHO. It is all kept a company secret. ASME still appears to be publishing
good stuff in the turbo machinery category. I will check on some of these NASA 
papers next time I am at UCLA.

Price wise UCLA charges ten or fifteen cents a page as I recall. The downtown LA 
library charges twenty five cents.
