Synopsis

Excerpt from Questions and Answers Relating to Modern Automobile Design, Construction Driving and Repair, Vol. 1: A Practical Treatise Consisting of Thirty-Nine Lessons in the Form of Questions and Answers Written With Special Reference to the Requirements of the Nontechnical Reader Desiring Easily Understood Explanatory Matter Relating to All Branches of Automobilin

The arrangement of the subject matter in the form of lessons consisting of questions and answers has been followed to make the book suitable either as a home educator or as a textbook for use in schools. Every endeavor has been made to arrange the contents logically and the reader is brought progressively from one element of the car to the next relative part rather than in the spasmodic manner usually found in a work of this nature.

A number of the lessons were specially written for instructing classes by the writer when he was associated with one of the first automobile schools established in the United States. They were very successfully applied in teaching the mixed classes and intel lects found in schools of this nature. These lessons have been simplified and brought up-to-date and have a much greater value to the student than when first prepared. Entirely new illustrations have been made and there is no con flict in contents between this and the writer's other work. Either is a complete exposition of the subject, and this can be used to advantage in connection with that first published as a series of ques tions for review, or the other and more complete work may be used to supplement this after the reader has grasped the rudiments of automobile construction and management by studying the lessons in this treatise. The arrangement by lessons will be found of value to those teaching automobile classes and the work should prove as desirable as a textbook as it is as a Self educator for those that cannot get their knowledge except by home study.

Attention is directed to the completeness of this work, which includes all late developments in automobile engineering. The exclusion of matter of purely academic value or of interest only from a historical point of view means that the space usually devoted to this easily obtained class of matter, which has long been public property, is devoted to a consideration of driving, maintenance and repair of automobiles, which is obviously of more value to the reader.
