Zerbe explains the motor car of the 1910s part by part for young readers: its history from Newton’s and Watt’s ideas and the first steam carriages, then the frame and springs, tires, tubes and rims, steering and brakes, the differential and drive, the engine, carburettor and the electricity that fires it.

A clear period guide to early automobile engineering for vintage car enthusiasts and curious young mechanics. Download the free EPUB.
