Présentation de l'éditeur
The developments in automobile practice since the first edition of The Gasoline Automobile have necessitated some changes and revisions in this edition. The entire book has been completely rewritten and enlarged. Much new illustrative material has been added. The number of chapters has been increased from ten to sixteen. Complete chapters are now given on Chassis and Running Gear, Clutches and Transmissions, Rear Axles and Differentials, while entirely new chapters on Principles of Electricity and Magnetism, The Automobile Storage Battery, and Wheels, Rims and Tires, have been added. No attempt has been made to cover all makes and models of cars and apparatus, but the purpose of offering instruction on the fundamental principles of automobile design, construction, and operation has been adhered to as far as possible. Mr. Earl L. Consoliver, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, has acted as co-author, taking the place of Mr. George W= Hobbs. BEN G. ELLIOTT.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
