PREFACE

Knowing that the motor car is fast becoming the modern form of

transportation, both in the social and commercial world, and feeling

that the principles of the mechanism which constitutes its propelling

power are as yet somewhat of a mystery to the average individual and

to “Young America” in particular, the author feels that some of the

simple explanations offered in the following pages of this book will be

welcomed and appreciated. While they do not cover the entire subject,

it is hoped that they may tend to shed some light, and in a way make

understandable the construction and operation of the automobile gas

engine.
