Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the early days of the automobile, offers a comprehensive guide to the inner workings of the internal combustion engine. The author takes the reader on a journey through the mechanics of the Otto cycle, the heart of the gasoline-powered engine, and then explores each component in detail: the piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, valves, timing gears, and the crucial carburettor which mixes fuel and air. The text is laced with practical advice on how to operate and maintain a car, covering everything from lubrication and ignition to the challenges of side-slip and common engine malfunctions. The book provides a rare glimpse into the mindset of early motorists, a time when the car was a marvel of engineering and its operation was considered a challenge rather than a simple chore. The author's descriptions, often drawing analogies to familiar objects like bicycles, reveal a fascination with the intricacies of this new mode of transportation. With its detailed diagrams and lucid explanations, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the origins of the modern automobile and the technological breakthroughs that made it possible. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
