Book excerpt: Excerpt from Motor-Car Principles: The Gasoline AutomobileThe advantages of magneto ignition for in ternal combustion engines are so obvious that designers and inventors have directed their attention to the perfection of apparatus that will improve present methods. The number of systems proposed for the purpose is very large in comparison with the number ac cepted by automobile manufacturers, and as in a work of this size it would be impossible to describe the many methods for the appli cation of the magneto that are on the mar ket, attention has been given only to those that are in actual, every-day use.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 under stand 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gasoline Automobile: A Practical Discussion of the Development and Present Status of the Automobile Of all the applications of the internal-combustion motor, it is safe to say that none is more important than that applied to the propulsion of the modern motor vehicle - the automobile, which nowadays throngs the roads and streets Of all civilization, serving a myriad of utilities as they never have been and never could be served by animal transportation. Standardized, inexpensive to buy, and inexpensive to operate, almost unfailingly reliable, and proved capable of use in the hands Of even the most unmechanical of operators, the automobile is at last coming fully into its own - its design becoming recognized as a branch Of engineering by itself, its manufacture constituting one of the greatest Of the mechanical industries, and its use being a common necessity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gasoline Automobile, Its Design and Construction, Vol. 1: The Gasoline Motor In a work of this nature it is, of course, impossible entirely to avoid the use of mathematics, since machine design consists chiefly in practical application of mathematics and mechanics in conjunction with experimental data. But it has been the aim to make the mathematical treatment as clear as possible, and in order to facilitate the use of the formulae derived, their applica tion is illustrated by practical examples in most instances.

Download or read book The Modern Gasoline Automobile written by Victor Wilfred Page and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 1114 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gasoline Automobile, Its Design and Construction, Vol. 2: Transmission, Running Gear and Control The advent of the high speed motor, together with a great in crease in the use of unit power plants, resulting in the lengthening of propeller shafts, has compelled designers to give more atten tion to the problem of critical speeds in shafts. Some matter on this subject has been incorporated in the Chapter on The Bevel Gear Drive and Rear Axle, the theory of critical speeds being explained and rules for their calculation given. Another branch of automobile engineering in which great com mercial development has taken place during the past four years is that relating to the worm drive. The chapter devoted to this subject has been largely rewritten and brought up to date. Minor additions and changes have been made throughout the book, and a number of typographical and other errors that occurred in the first edition have been corrected. For pointing out such errors the author wishes to thank some of his readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Automobile Book: A Practical Treatise on the Construction, Operation and Care of Motor Cars Propelled by Gasoline Engines; With Full Explanations of All the Essential Parts The london-brighton Race. - A further evidence of the superiority of the American products was given at the first event in England, held November 14th, 1896, to celebrate the repeal Of the restrictive road laws of 1844. Nearly fifty en tries including the first, second and third winners of the French racing events of that year, were present, and all were beaten by a Duryea, nearly an hour, in the distance of 52 miles from London to Brighton. This unique victory of an American automobile over the best foreign constructions stood for years as evidence of the advanced positions of American constructors. Pneumatic tires, artillery wheels, spray carburetors, electric ignition by mechanical generator, throttle control, and many modern features were first shown on those winners, and contributed to the result.
