Excerpt from Automobile Troubles and How to Remedy Them: A Practical Book for the Automobile Owner, Operator, Dealer, Builder, Salesman, Experimenter and Student of Mechanical Achievements

For example, if the engine stops, the beginner will save much time by looking up Stoppage of Engine in Table I. He will find the probable causes set out, and having thus got the key, will find further on in these pages full directions for putting matters right.

On the other hand, if he thinks he knows what the failure is, he can turn to Table II. The Symptoms in the second column will confirm him in his belief, or otherwise, and the Causes, as before, will assist him in putting matters right. For example the driver finds when trying to start that there is no compression. He turns, therefore, to Compression, None, in Table II, and there finds the causes, which are dealt with more fully in the articles which follow.
