Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Model T Ford Car, Its Construction, Operation and Repair There is only one make of motor vehicle in the world that is sold in large enough quantities to warrant the publication of a special treatise on its repair and maintenance and that is the Ford Model T. With the close of the 1916 season's business there will be at least 1,000,000 Ford cars of all types in use, perhaps more. Most of these cars have been sold to and are being operated by persons with but little mechanical knowledge and with no experience with the gas engine as an automobile power plant. The maker's instruction book is excellent but it is necessarily brief as there is no opportunity for an extended exposition of principles involved. Many operators desire to know the first principles before studying the operation and repair. While considerable instruction is given in the writer's large work on motoring, "The Modern Gasoline Automobile," it is not possible to cover any specific make of car completely in a general treatise. Many requests have been received from motorists for a book on the Ford car that would enter into elementary exposition more than the manufacturer's instruction book does and cover some of the points involved in repair and maintenance more completely. The writer has operated a Ford car of his own for nearly four years and has had many other cars of the same make under observation.
