Excerpt from The Motor Car: A Practical Manual for the Use of Students and Motor Car Owners, With Notes on the Internal Combustion Engine and Its Fuel

The information given in this book was originally de livered by the Author in the form of lectures at the Crystal Palace School of Practical Engineering, the Royal United Service Institution, and the Royal Automobile Club. There appeared to be some demand for a practical work on these lines, so his notes have been enlarged for publication.

The Author decided to commence at the beginning of the subject, and to explain the evolution which had to take place in internal combustion work before the modern motor car could become a commercial possibility. The funda mental principles governing the action of the engine are discussed under the heading of Gas Engines the action of these larger and somewhat cruder machines is more easy to grasp.
