AUTOMOBILES AND MOTORCYCLES

THE MODERN GASOLINE AUTOMOBILE-ITS DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION,
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. BY VICTOR W. PAGÉ, M.E.

The latest and most complete treatise on the Gasoline Automobile ever issued. Written
in simple language by a recognized authority, familiar with every branch of the auto-
mobile industry. Free from technical terms. Everything is explained so simply

gasoline automobile. The information is up-to-date and includes, in addition to an
exposition of principles of construction and description of all types of automobiles and
their components, valuable money-saving hints on the care and operation of motor-
cars propelled by internal combustion engines. Among some of the subjects treated
might be mentioned: Torpedo and other symmetrical body forms designed to reduce
air resistance; sleeve valve, rotary valve and other types of silent motors; increasing
tendency to favor worm-gear power-transmission; universal application of magneto
ignition; development of automobile electric-lighting systems; block motors; under-
slung chassis; application of practical self-starters; long stroke and offset cylinder
