Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide for the amateur mechanic interested in building a small gas engine. It was written at the dawn of the 20th century, when the gas engine was rapidly gaining popularity as a reliable source of power, particularly for horseless carriages. The author recognizes that many aspiring engine builders lack access to specialized tools and machine shops, so the book meticulously outlines the construction process using readily available tools and materials. The book not only explains the basic principles of gas engine operation and design, but also provides detailed instructions, accompanied by photographs, on building each component, from the cylinder to the flywheels. It emphasizes practical shop methods, steering the reader away from the common pitfalls found in books focused on building toy machines. The book delves into the history of gas engine development, highlighting its emergence as a viable alternative to steam power. By offering a comprehensive yet accessible approach to building a small gas engine, this book empowers the amateur mechanic to engage in a rewarding and educational mechanical endeavor.
