The History Of Automobiles
14 Books From Yesteryear All On One CD!
1. The Story Of The Automobile It's History & Development From 1760 To 1917 H L Barber 1917 (266 pages)
So far as I know, there is no book in circulation
that tells, in concise form, the story of
the mechanical and commercial evolution of the
automobile, mirrors its sudden leap into popular
use, and shows how it has demonstrated, in
a most amazing way, the power of money to
make money, describes its benefits to the world,
and forecasts the future possibilities of the
automobile industry as an investment.
2. Construction & Manufacture Of Automobiles Ralph E Flanders 1912 (56 pages)
"This construction, which is the distinctive point in the
design of this motor, has been successfully followed by the builders
for the last five years, and it is one of the things which serve to give
an attractive mechanical appearance to the whole mechanism. Only
one double set of universal joints is required, that connecting the
propeller shaft with the transmission gearing at one end, and the
differential gearing at the other.
The cylinders are grouped in three two-cylinder castings C, bolted
to the crank case N."
3. Operation Care & Repair Of Automobiles Albert L Glough 1910 (316 pages)
"THE ECONOMY OF IT
The possibility of spring breakage is removed as
soon as the
TRUFFAULT-HARTFORD
SHOCK ABSORBER
is put on a car.
The ravages of vibration, the racking it causes
every bolt, nut and part, cease.
In actual figures the use of the Truffault-Hartford
decreases depreciation through wear and tear 50 per cent.
That's the economy of it. It is a matter of dollars and
cents to have your car Truffault-Hartford equipped.
If you cannot have a set put on at the factory, have
it done at the garage."
4. The Autocar Handbook A Guide To The Mortorcar Iliffe & Sons 1907 (228 pages)
The back of this book is full of advertising of the day which makes it a very interesting read.
"WITHIN
the space at one's disposal in a handbook of this
elementary nature, it is quite impossible to deal with any
degree of completeness or at adequate length with the
theories which govern the functions of various parts of the motor car.
Information on this subject may be divided into three classes :
The things one MUST know ; the things one SHOULD know ; and the
things one need NOT know ; the last-named being those things
knowledge of which, although exceedingly interesting and valuable,
is, however, of no immediate utility as regards the successful running
and keeping in order of a car."
5. Self Propelled Vehicles A Practical Treatise On The Theory Construction Operation Care And Management Of All Forms Of Automobiles James E Homans 1904 (681 pages)
If the owner of a steam carriage burns out his boiler every
time he takes an outing, he blames the builder of the machine
rather than his own ignorance of steam engine theory and practice.
If the owner of a gasoline carriage meets with any one of
the several common accidents that result from simple carelessness
and neglect, he forthwith announces that the automobile is not
as yet a practical machine, and becomes a stalwart champion of
the trusty horse, whom Nature herself repairs, so long as feed
and water are not forgotten.
6. The Modern Gasoline Automobile It's Design Construction Operation & Maintenance Victor W Page 1920 Edition (1117 pages)
The most pronounced tendency is the
adoption of eight and twelve-cylinder V motors, such as used in aeroplanes,
to automobile propulsion, but this is not general. All latest
engine types and auxiliaries are described in this edition."While the major portion of the 1919 edition of this work remains
unchanged, owing to the highly developed state of the art at the time
it was prepared, it has been found desirable to include much additional
matter in this latest edition in order to keep pace with the
progress of the industry.
7. The Law Of Automobiles Xenophon B Huddy 1909 (403 pages)
The appearance of a new means of transportation—the
automobile—on the pubHc streets and highways is creating
a far-reaching influence, not only on industry and commerce,
but also on legislation. The attention of legislative
bodies has been taken by the twentieth century conveyance
to such an extent that there now exists much important
statutory law concerning automobiles and their operation,
as will be seen from the pages of this book.
8. Auotmobile Troubles & How To Remedy Them Charles P Root 1911 (264 pages)
In case of trouble with the engine or other essential parts
of a motor car it is important to learn as soon as possible the
exact nature of the trouble. Diagnosis is at times difficult,
and requires experience, because in many cases there may be
quite a number of symptoms for a failure, and the same symptoms
may be common to many failures.
9.Automobiles Hugo Demier 1909 (220 pages)
A Practical. Treatise On The
Construction, Operation, And Care Of Gasoline, Steam, And
Electric Motor-Cars, Including Mechanical Details Of
Running Gear, Power Plant, Body, And Accessories,
Instruction In Driving, Etc.
10. Classroom Lecture Notes Automotive Starting Lighting & Ignition R C Fryer 1918 (228 pages)
This volume, primarily intended to form the basis of a
lecture course upon Starting, Lighting, and Ignition, has
been made as general and concise as practicable, with the idea
in view that it should include the essential knowledge necessary
to the student ; and that it will be valuable to him when
properly enlarged upon with demonstration by capable
instructors.
11. The Automobile It's Selection Care & Use Robert Sloss 1910 (212 pages)
CHOOSING
a car is by no means so esoteric
a task as choosing a wife, since, of
course, there could never be as many
nice cars in the world as there are nice girls. But
there are enough of the former to quite bewilder
any one who approaches the array of them for
the first time with serious intentions.
12. Motor Transport In War Horace Wyatt Early 1900's (231 pages)
We have been told, and rightly, many
times within the last few weeks that the
present war is unique, not merely on
account of the vastness of the contending
armies, but also on account of the power
of the weapons employed. In fact, the
war has very properly been described as
an engineer's war, and such, indeed, it is,
as the engineer is wholly responsible for
the tremendous development in every warlike
instrument which has taken place
since 1870.
13. The Operation Care & Repair Of Automobiles Albert L Cough 1910 (316 pages)
It is a matter of common experience that a large proportion of the
attention required in the care and maintenance of automobiles is demanded
by their ignition apparatus. In order to be able successfully to
cope with the difficulties arising from failures of ignition it is desirable
not only to understand the general construction and mode of action of
the various pieces of ignition apparatus, but to possess a working knowledge
of the cardinal principles of electricity and magnetism.
14. Gasoline Automobiles James A Moyer 1921 (280 pages)
THE purpose of this book is to present clearly, briefly,
and interestingly the essential principles of automobile construction
and operation. It is expected to furnish practical
help to drivers who, when faced by ordinary operating
troubles, want to know how to locate the cause and apply
the remedy.
