The Industrial Motor

We come now to what is doubtless destined to be the most important of all the branches of the motor industry. In revolutionising the means of carrying passengers along roads, the motor has been immensely successful, and has affected the life of civilised countries in no slight degree, notably by encouraging people to live in [...]

The Modern Motor Car Chassis

Another respect in which engine design has been modified to great advantage is with regard to lubrication. The old haphazard methods have been superseded by systems in which oil is taken in properly regulated quantities to all the bearings. Improved lubrication has done much to make possible the high-speed motor of light weight and great [...]

Progress In Design

As applied to the earliest motor cars if we ignore the unproductive experiments made with crude steam vehicles nearly a century ago the internal combustion engine took its simplest form, having only one working cylinder. The charge was ignited by bringing it into contact with a heated tube. As time went on, the number of [...]

Two Cars, The Excellence Of Which Is Largely Due To Experience On The Racing Track

This is, that the distribution of the industry must be dependent also on the purchasing capacity of the average member of the population in each Duntry. In this respect, the United States has an immense advantage. The purchasing capacity of the individual is good and the population is large. There is thus created a home [...]

Factors That Have Assisted Development

The motor industry owes its existence primarily to the tremendous progress made in the design and manufacture of internal combustion engines. According to Mr. Dugald Clerk, the total power generated by gas engines in the United Kingdom in 1876 did not exceed 2,000 horse-power. In 1907, a total of three-quarters ,of a million horse-power was [...]

An Example Of Progress

Another example of obstructive legislation is to be found in the tendency to tax the fuel of the motor vehicle, though this may perhaps be justified if the tax be imposed with the agreement of the motoring community, and the proceeds definitely earmarked to go to the improvement of the roads. Then again, laws devised [...]

European And American Methods Compared

In setting out to compare national methods of manufacture and sale of the products of the motor industry, one must necessarily generalise. What we shall describe as the American method is not that of every American manufacturer, and what we shall describe as the European method is subject to many variations, and is by no [...]

Co-Operation

Co-Operation among manufacturers in the motor industry may have for its object a decrease in the cost of raw materials, a decrease in manufacturing costs, a decrease in selling costs, or a combination of any or all of these. As regards the first, manufacturers may group themselves together with the object of placing very large [...]

Methods Affecting Body Design And Construction

Manufacturers who turn out cars in large quantities have found it advisable to give full adherence to the principle of supplying them fully equipped in all respects, so as to be ready for immediate use without the addition of further fittings. From the point of view of the quantity producer, there is everything to be [...]

Applications Of Motor Engines

The internal combustion engine designed to use a light type of fuel is essentially a product of the motor industry. Consequently, if, as is undoubtedly the case, such engines are required not only on vehicles but in other spheres, the output of the industry will be thereby increased. No industry can be regarded without any [...]
