The advantages of certain forms of construction have been recognized, and their adoption by the large majority of makers has produced what may be called a standard type.

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 The automobile is today such an important part of our business and our pleasure, that we as an intelligent people should be interested in learning more about this marvelous collection of mechanisms than can be derived from an examination of the "works" or even from experience in running the car itself. A little investigation of the explosion motor will show that there is no mystery connected with the admission, compression, explosion, and expulsion of a small charge of gas in each cylinder about ten times every second. Everything is as systematic and orderly as the laws of nature, and it is this very orderliness which demands of every mechanism that it perform its little function in the cycle of operations without variation. It has been said that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," but the little knowledge which enables the experienced chauffeur to tell that his carbureter has a grain of sand in it, that the spark plug of the third cylinder needs fixing, that one valve is not seating properly, or that a pin connecting the throttle mechanism has dropped out, might help you, gentle reader, to avoid an awkward situation and keep your car on the move. Anyone can be a good driver if the motor runs without a falter, but sometime, somewhere, that person is going to be called upon for the "know how." Has he got it? The publishers of this book do not claim it to be a compendium on the gasoline automobile, but have designed it to meet a need for an authoritative and readable presentation of the essential elements of the gasoline motor and its attachments, a discussion of the newer features of the modern car, and helpful suggestions regarding road and home repairs.

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.

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.

There is no combination among these manufacturers and importers. Every one of them conducts his business in entire independence of any of the others, and among them all a free competition is maintained. But there is a basic United States patent, No. Granted to George B. Selden November 5, 1895, on gasoline automobiles, which controls broadly all of such machines as are accepted as commercially practicable. The only bond between the companies repre sented herein is their recognition of this patent and their conviction that such recognition is a guarantee that the purchaser of their machines is thereby secured against the annoyance and expense of litigation attendant on the infringement of a patent.

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.

Those permitted to manufacture under the patent are the licensees enumerated in this volume or mentioned in official lists issued periodically by the A. L. A. M. The action of these manufacturers in recognizing this exclusive patent grant is most amply justified by Judge Hough's decision, from which we quote.

It is largely the outgrowth of a series of lectures on the subject which were given in twenty-three cities of Wisconsin during the past winter. The thanks of the authors are especially due to Mr. M. E. Faber of the C. A. Shaler Co. for assistance in preparing the section dealing with tire troubles, to Prof. Earle B. Norris for much of the chapter on Engines and for editing the manuscript and reading the proof, and to the many manufacturers who have liberally assisted in the preparation of the work by supplying their cuts and other material.
