The Gasoline Automobile - The Classic 1915 Auto Book

Henry Ford introduced his Model T in 1908, and changed the face of America. The arrival of the "Tin Lizzie" on city streets also signaled the beginning of the end for a debate that had raged since the beginning of the motor car era. Namely, "What is the best propulsion system for autos: steam, electric, or gasoline?"

Originally published in 1915 as an engineering text, The Gasoline Automobile is a classic book that provides rare insights into the early days of the automobile revolution. Within its pages you will find descriptive text supported by numerous rare photos and illustrations.
Chapters include: general construction, engines, power plant groups and transmission systems, fuels and carburetting systems, lubrication and cooling, batteries and ignition, magnetos, starting and lighting systems, troubles and remedies, and operation and care.

This softcover reprint of the first edition has been slightly reformatted for readability, but care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

Kraftfahrtechnisches Taschenbuch Reprint 1954 - Bosch Technik fürs Leben

Electrics in cars - that was a big shock for many workshops. This reprint from 1954 gives a great overview of the state of the art at the time. A contentious editor-in-chief once called the men in workshops and industry who had little knowledge of the subject matter, but who were well paid for it, "sloppy experts" and "scoundrels". In those economic miracle times, the Beetle was "in" and good mechanics were rare, and woe betide anyone who didn't know anything about their vehicle.

Robert Bosch GmbH knew about the needs of drivers. Long before the war, they had started publishing the "Kraftfahrtechnisches Taschenbuch". Here, the Swabian specialists informed professionals and interested owners about units of measurement and materials, explained the technical basics of cars, motorcycles and tractors, and then gave advice, tips and instructions for troubleshooting: wherever the shoe pinched and the copper worm was digging, Bosch had the answer.
