Description: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 PartsThe 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. The entire work has been thoroughly te vised and a number of corrections made in the text. Much supple mentary matter has been added relating to ignition, the action of 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-elec tric drive, front-wheel and four-wheel drive and steer systems, and other important developments in power-propelled vehicles. The dis cussion of power transmission methods has been augmented by con sideration of the skew bevel gear and two-speed direct drive rear axle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
