Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gasoline Automobile, Prepared in the Extension Division of the University of Wisconsin The purpose of this book is admirably expressed in the following quotation taken from the Buick instruction book: "To derive the greatest amount of satisfaction and pleasure from the use of his car the driver should have a complete understanding of the mechanical principles underlying its operation. Merely knowing which pedal to press or which lever to pull is not enough. The really competent driver should understand what happens in the various parts of the car's mechanism when he presses the pedal or pulls the lever. He should know the cause as well as the result." When we consider the complexity of modern automobiles from a mechanical standpoint, with the duties that are required of them, together with the fact that the great majority of them are operated by men with little or no experience in the handling of machinery, the automobile stands as one of the most remarkable machines that the ingenuity of man has ever produced. The operating expense of the automobile has already assumed a large place in the budget of the American people. Although it is so built that the owner may secure good service from his automobile with very little knowledge of its construction, still it is evident that an intimate acquaintance with its details should enable him to secure better service at less expense and at the same time to prolong the useful life of the car. It is with the hope of increasing the pleasure of automobile ownership and reducing the trouble and expense of operation that this book is offered. It is planned primarily for use in the University Extension work in Wisconsin, for the instruction of those who drive, repair, sell, or otherwise have to do with motor cars. It is largely the outgrowth of a series of lectures on the subject which were given in twenty-three cities of Wisconsin during the past winter. The thanks of the authors are especially due to Mr. M. E. Faber of the C. A. Shaler Co. for assistance in preparing the section dealing with tire troubles, to Prof. Earle B. Norris for much of the chapter on Engines and for editing the manuscript and reading the proof, and to the many manufacturers who have liberally assisted in the preparation of the work by supplying their cuts and other material.

Book excerpt: Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Gasoline Automobile: Its Design, Construction, Operation and Maintenance; A Practical, Comprehensive Treatise Explaining All Principles Pertaining to Gasoline Automobiles and Their Component Parts The favorable reception of this treatise by the motoring public has been gratifying, to say the least, and in presenting the fourth edition Of this work to the motoring fraternity the author wishes to thank those readers and reviewers who have made suggestions for improving or enlarging the scope of the exposition. The improve ments in the automobile during the two years this work has been on the market have been more in the nature Of refinement of body lines and improvement of mechanical detail than any radical change in principles or basic design. The most pronounced tendency is the adoption of eight-cylinder V motors, such as used in aeroplanes, to automobile propulsion, but this is not general. The De Dion eight cylinder V motor, which is the type from which the American motors have been taken, is therefore illustrated in this new issue. While the major portion of the 1914 edition of this work remains unchanged, owing to the highly developed state Of the art at the time it was prepared, it has been found desirable to include much addi tional matter in this latest edition in order to keep pace with the progress Of the industry. The entire work has been thoroughly revised and a number Of corrections made in the text. Much supple mentary matter has been added relating to ignition, the action Of magneto generators and basic principles on which they Operate, so this subject should be more easy Of comprehension. Entirely new material has been written on tractors in three and four-wheel forms, cyclecars and agricultural tractors or automobile plows; combination gasoline-electric drive, front-wheel and four-wheel drive and steer systems, and other important developments in power-propelled vehicles. The discussion Of power transmission methods has been augmented by consideration of the skew bevel gear and two-speed direct drive rear axle, as well as several new forms Of worm gear drive. The subject of electrical motor starting systems has been considered at length and leading systems and their components described. A discussion on ball and roller bearings, their maintenance and installa tion, has also been included, and a number Of other features of timely interest, such as latest types of gasoline and kerosene carburetors, cyclecar power plants, the Fischer slide valve motor, detachable wire wheels, etc., have been added to bring the work thoroughly up to date. Many new illustrations have been made to illustrate the mat ter and the treatment of some of the subjects changed to some extent upon the advice Of various educators to permit the work to be used to somewhat better advantage in teaching classes in engineering in various technical schools that have adopted this work exclusively as a text-book on elementary automobile engineering.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Gasoline Automobile, Its Design, Construction, Maintenance and Repair: A Practical, Comprehensive Treatise Defining All Principles Pertaining to Gasoline Automobiles and Their Component Parts The favorable reception of this treatise by the motoring public has been gratifying, to say the least, and in presenting the seventh edition of this work to the motoring fraternity the author wishes to thank those readers and reviewers who have made suggestions for improving or enlarging the scepe of the Sxposition. The improve ments in the automobile during the five years this work has been on the market have been more in the nature of refinement of body lines and improvement of mechanical detail than any radical change in principles or basic design. The most pronounced tendency is the adoption of eight and twelve-cylinder V motors, such as used in aero planes, to automobile propulsion, but this is not general. All latest engine types and auxiliaries are described in this edition. While the major portion of the 1918 edition of this work remains unchanged, owing to the highly developed state of the art at the time it was prepared, it has been found desirable to include much addi tional matter in this latest edition in order to keep pace with the progress of the industry.
