100 ans de tracteurs à chenilles
A hundred crawler tractors manufactured by 35 of the world's leading manufacturers are presented, clearly described and abundantly illustrated in this new edition, which contains more than 300 photographs, sections, operating diagrams, sales notices and advertising posters.
This book traces above all the history of the crawler tractor in France from its appearance in 1916 to the present day. The last chapter, completely revised, paints a portrait of contemporary flexible tracks, taking into account the very latest technological developments. An exceptional iconography and a fascinating story make it a reference work that will find its place in the libraries of collectors who love old machinery. The author Jean Noulin is the author at ETAI of a good number of works on agricultural machinery that he wrote with his co-author Jean Chérouvrier †. He updated this work published many years ago and tried to find new color photos and information that were missing in the first edition. The layout has been completely revised, improved and completed.
In a century and a half - a few seconds of human history - the tractor has established itself as a traction tool, like the automobile, the truck or the airplane in the field of transport. It is now part of our environment and no one is surprised anymore to encounter it on the road, in vineyards, construction sites, ports, green spaces, beaches and elsewhere.
Through a very rich iconography, this work presents a fresco of its evolution, from the age of steam to that of electronics, passing through the invention of the pneumatic and that of the diesel engine. Six hundred photographs, including a large part of the period, illustrate the productions of dozens of manufacturers from Europe and the New World. Appendices trace the chronology of the series for some important brands and a complete index facilitates the reader's research.
