The 1908 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost would hold compression well enough so that if it was in just the right position when the ignition was turned on the engine would start with no cranking, just from the residual compression from the prior days operation.

Mazda is using a similar engine positioning strategy for their start stop operation.
