Book excerpt: Welcomed at end of the 19th century as the solution to the severe problem of horse manure in city streets, electric trucks soon became the norm for short-haul commercial deliveries. Though reliable, they were gradually replaced by gasoline-powered trucks for long-haul deliveries--although a fleet of electric milk trucks survived in Great Britain into the 1960s. Industrial electric vehicles never disappeared from factories and ports. During the past decade, with the availability of the lithium-ion battery, the electric truck is back on the road for all payloads and all distances. The fourth in a series covering the history and future of electric transport, this book chronicles the work of the innovative engineers who perfected e-trucks large and small.

The same length of stroke, viz. 6 in., is retained. The ratios of gearing between the engine and road wheels are 19'4 and 11 to 1, giving speeds of 2 9 and 5-1 miles per hour with engine running at its normal speed of 450 revolutions per minute. Fig. 48 shows a plan of the engine and gearing. The valves are of the flat balanced pattern working on renewable faces. Unlike the smaller wagon before described, the second-motion shaft gearing runs loosely when the combined sliding clutch and pinion is out of gear with the spur wheel. The second-motion shaft is in reality a fixed steel tube with the clutch operating rod working in the hollow. The compensating shaft is clearly shown in Fig. 49. It will be noticed that the main bearings are non-adjustable. The third axle consists of a "Mannesman " tube with practically solid ends. The rear axle has bearings 11 in. long and 3 i in. in diameter, the diameter of the axle beyond the bearings being 4 in. The boiler, brakes, and steering gear are the same design as on the smaller wagon. The driving wheels are 3 ft. 6 in. diameter by 10 in. face, and the steering wheels are 3 ft. diameter by 6 in. face.
