4. Modern Methods Of FORD Repairing by Howard Pile in (1920) 264 pages
COMPLETE manual -for the Ford repairman,
explaining the use of all the up-to-date tools
and shop equipment and minutely describing the
methods of performing the work on all the different
mechanical parts of the car.
THE business of repairing Fords has come to be such an enormous one and open to such competition that the man who expects to make a success of it is forced to use the most up-to-the-minute methods, tools and machinery available for the purpose. This book is designed to give in a clear, concise and thorough way all the detail operations in repairing and overhauling the Ford mechanical units using the best and quickest methods and employing the tools and machinery that will save time and labor and insure jobs as nearly perfect
as it is possible to get out.
Service work on all makes of cars is slowly but surely turning toward factory production methods and this is more true of Ford service than of any other car. Repairmen are realizing that to "produce" service in quantity and at a low figure it is of vital importance to specialize and to use special tools and equipment. The "all around" mechanic is rapidly giving way to the "motor" man or the "rear assembly" man. When a man specializes on one job, he becomes more proficient, does the job quicker and also does it better.

HALF A CENTURY HAS PASSED since Henry Ford's attention was attracted to a contrivance called "a silent gas engine." A German named Otto was the inventor, and a description of the primitive affair in an English magazine caught the eye of the Michigan farm boy,
who had now become a machinist in Detroit. He got a chance to repair an Otto engine at the Eagle Iron Works in 1885. The dissection of that single-cylinder machine, run by illuminating gas, marked the start of patient investigations which were to launch the era of motor
transport. It marked, also, the beginning of the fifty years which we of today appraise as the period most productive of scientific achievement in the world's history.
