This book is primarily intended for the use of students of Motor Car Engineering; but it is hoped that many engaged in this branch of Engineering science, including owners of cars, will derive some benefit from a perusal of this volume, which has been mainly written from the notes used by the Author in his lectures to Ordinary and Honours Grade Students at the Polytechnic School of Engineering, Regent Street, W. An attempt has been made to cover the Syllabus of the City and Guilds of London Institute in this subject, which, as may be seen from pages 404 to 407, is very extensive, but it is believed that nothing vital has been omitted excepting the Materials of Construction and the problem of Balancing, which belong properly speaking to Design, and have therefore been included in Volume II. of this work. The Automobile Engineer should have a good working knowledge of thermodynamics, mechanics, chemistry, electricity and mathematics, in order that he may intelligently carry out his work. This is often difficult for him to obtain, and although the space available precludes an extensive study of these subjects, the hope is expressed that the information contained in this volume will materially assist him in understanding the principles of Motor Car construction. The Author is indebted, in several instances, to the descriptive matter contained in the booklets issued by the Manufacturers of certain Specialties, for the descriptions which appear in the text. The Author's best thanks are due to the Council of the Institution of Automobile Engineers and to Dr. Watson, F.R.S., for their kind permission to insert the Tables of the Physical Properties of Petrols given on pages 421 to 425; to Messrs. Longmans & Co., and Mr. Archibald Sharp, Wh. Sc., B.Sc, A.M. Inst. C.E., for permission to use the ratios of excess energy given on page 219; to Messrs. Macmillan, for allowing him to include the Table of Logarithms on pages 427 to 430 to the various Firms who have loaned him electros of illustrations against which their names appear in the text, and to the Automobile Press. He must also acknowledge his indebtedness to his friend and colleague, Mr. Thos. Wadhams, Wh. Ex., for his assistance in reading through several chapters in this work and in checking over many of the numerical examples distributed in the text. The examination papers set at the examinations held by the City and Guilds of London Institute in Motor Car Engineering have been inserted at the end of the book. The reader will doubtless find it an advantage to omit the Articles marked with an asterisk on first reading. The Author will be grateful for any suggestions or for any corrections that may be made.

The reputation possessed by a car is built up after long years of labour and depends for its continuance upon the maintenance Of the peculiar qualities upon which it has been founded - namely, strong construction, reliability, silence, accessi bility, durability, efficiency, appearance, low running costs, etc. All design is an evolution - a process in which defects are eradicated and good features become established, and any departure from past practice should be able to withstand the severest scrutiny before introduction into any model. This con sideration is rendered all the more important from the fact that any alterations are costly to initiate, in that fresh patterns, dies, jigs, etc., are necessary; and because those engaged in the shops are not conversant with the new construction. Further, all modifications must be considered from the point Of View of the prospective purchaser, who is really the ultimate judge of the wisdom Of any change.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
