Motor Vehicle Engineering: Engines (For Automobiles, Trucks, and Tractors) (Classic Reprint)

The object of this book is to give in a concise manner and in simple language, the information needed by the designer and the automobile engineer in their everyday work, and with only the simplest of mathematics. The book is also intended for draftsmen, technical graduates, tnechanicB and others, engaged in different branches of engineering, who wish to obtain a technical training in motor vehicle engineering, including design and testing. Throughout this volume higher mathematics have been eliminated as the author has found from practical experience that a majority of those seeking information on engineering subjects, are conversant with elementary algebra only and perhaps some trigonometry; the book can therefore be readily followed by those whose mathematical knowledge is limited or has become rusty. The author endeavore -to bring the information up-to-date, and includes data of the latest designs, specially gathered for this purpose from the leading manufacturers. Truck engine design is treated exhaustively on account of the ever-increasing importance of this subject. In short, the book illustrates modem motor vehicle engineering practice and the formulae for determining the strength and dimensions of the various parts forming the engine of the present day. Examples of standard designs of all parts of engines are included to make it a thorough handbook on the subject. The author wishes to express his great appreciation to the following Motor Manufacturers for furnishing material, which enabled him to make the data truly representative American practice: The Pierce Arrow Motor Co. Falls Motora Corp. CoD tinental Motor Corp. Ford Motor Co. Packard Motor Co. Gray Motor Co. International Motor Co. Hudson Motor Car Co. The Buda Company Hall Scott Motor Co., I nc. The Hercules Motor Mtg. Co. The Kelly-S pringfield Motor Haynes Automobile Co. Truck Co. Olds Mot
