Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Motor Car The object of the Author, in the pages that follow, has been to take a straight course through the typical modern motor car, beginning at the engine and finishing at the road wheels. The principles underlying the various parts of the car are explained and illustrated by means of simplified diagrams, these being followed by illustrations from drawings and photographs of the actual parts. All variations from main types have been excluded, and as to details no attempt has been made to include the latest in the motor car world. It is hoped by these means to make the elementary principles underlying the construction and working of the modern motor car clear to even the most unmechanical owner. Chapter I. Deals with some elementary ideas regard ing the power required to propel a car under varying conditions, and the descriptive work on the motor car proper begins in the next chapter. In order to follow out the scheme of proceeding straight through the car, the descriptions of engines which depart from ordinary poppet valve practice have been placed at the end of the book. This system has proved successful in the courses of popular lectures on the motor car given under the auspices of the Royal Automobile Club of South Africa and the South African College, and it has also been found that this simple descriptive course forms an excellent introduction to the more advanced course taken by the engineering students at the College.

Download or read book Self Contained Railway Motor Cars and Locomotives written by Raymond S. Zeitler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Self-Contained Railway Motor Cars and Locomotives: Prepared Especially for the Instruction and Training of Students of the American School Long Period of Development. Since the advent of the steam locomotive, inventors and designers have turned their attention toward the production of railway cars in which the power plant is self-contained. All forms of motive power have been tried in many and various combinations: steam, with the flash boiler and high pressure - coal and oil fired; electric motors driven by storage batteries; compressed air; and the internal-combustion engine, with combination drives of every sort. These drives may consist of electric generators and motors, mechanical transmissions with spur gearing and clutches, electro-mechanical combinations, and friction drives. The hydraulic transmission has also been tried, but little has been done with it, owing, no doubt, to the fact that designers of self-contained cars are for the most part unfamiliar with hydraulic principles and their application to power transmission. The self-contained cars of the past favored the steam engine design, with the engine mounted on the trucks and the boiler within the car body. This, of course, was an adaptation of the steam locomotive in smaller units to individual cars and was used before the internal-combustion engine was developed. This feature is still found in practically all the modern steam self-contained cars and takes 'from 10 to 15 feet of valuable space within the car body for engine room and does not permit a passage between cars when two or more motor cars are coupled together in a train. European countries have a number of these cars still in use and have been rather successful with them but are, how ever, rapidly adopting those using the internal-combustion engine, owing to its larger radius of Operation and economies.

Download or read book The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars written by Ross Alkureishi and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars covers all the marque's collectible production saloons and sports cars, from the 14/28 and 14/40 sports cars to the iconic postwar convertibles like the MGA and MGB, as well as latter-day takes on the classic MG formula, such as the RV8. First produced in Oxford, England, in 1924, MG cars proved instantly appealing, with a cheeky spirit that would win the hearts of millions around the globe, not least of all in the United States. This was due in no small part to the fact that the price was as attractive as the styling and the performance. Inexpensive and fun became quintessential MG traits. In this installment of Motorbooks' Complete Book series, author Ross Alkureishi offers a chronological model-by-model marque history. Narratives discuss design, production, and technology, while specification tables highlight key technical and performance data. Hundreds of photos illustrate the vehicles and even include detail shots of engine bays and interiors. Originally formed as a side business, MG became one of the world's most recognized car brands. From prewar saloons to fast and affordable two-seat sports cars in the pre- and postwar periods, MG has exuded fun, thanks to models like the Midgets and Magnettes, the traditionally styled T-Types, and the vehicles that would become the marque’s most recognizable: the MGA, MGB, and MGC. MG would undergo several ownership changes throughout the years, and Alkureishi expertly shows how different ownership groups affected MG cars, good or bad. Along the way, the company competed on racetracks around the world, and Alkureishi describes the most successful of these exploits in complementary sidebars. The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars is the essential guide to this important chapter in the history of motoring.
