“The How and Why of the Automobile”
[Illustration]
Did you ever read a book which gave you just the information you wanted
without being compelled to go through page after page of introduction
and history?
¶ Did you ever talk to a man who came over on your side of the fence
and talked WITH you and not AT you--who explained things in such a
way that you laughed at yourself afterwards for not understanding the
subject before--it was really so simple?
¶ Do you remember when you used to study by outlines--how difficult
problems unfolded themselves--how the logical sequence of facts seemed
to make what you expected to find hard, readily understandable?
¶ Do you remember the innumerable times you have said to yourself “If I
only had somebody here to explain things--someone who would go through
this proposition with me until I understood it--someone who would use
homely and familiar examples to explain things, instead of talking over
my head by using technical terms?”
¶ The author realized all these difficulties himself, because he has
been through it all. Not only that, but his experience as an instructor
of a large motor school taught him the way to explain the various parts
of a motor vehicle in simple language, so that even the boy of fifteen
could understand and appreciate them.
¶ For instance, did you ever think that the physician uses a form of
carburetor whenever he gives chloroform or ether--do you realize that a
shotgun is a form of gas engine whose action is almost identical with
that of an automobile motor?
¶ Do you want to know what a sliding gear transmission is--explained in
such simple language that anyone can understand it?
¶ Would you like to see what’s inside of an automobile engine--would
you like to know the name of every part--be able to talk intelligently
about it and be your own mechanic--tell your chauffeur what to do--know
when he is bluffing you?
¶ In a word, would you like to know all about a motor car--how it
works--how to drive it and how to take care of it? Then subscribe for a
