Small Accumulators, How Made and Used


Book Description

Excerpt from Small Accumulators, How Made and Used: An Elementary Handbook for the Use of Amateurs and Students The subject of small accumulators has been selected for treatment in this, the first of a series of popular scientific hand-books for students and engineers, by reason of the large number of requests for advice which have reached me in my capacity as editor of The Model Engineer and Amateur Electrician. Although some of the information herein con tained has already appeared in the pages of that journal, I believe that the connected and amplified form in which this is now presented will. Make it of greater utility and more con venient for reference. Sufficient matter has been added to make the book cover the ground indicated by its title as fully as is possible, but the limited space available precludes any pre tence to exhaustive treatment of the subject. I venture to hope, however, that this little vol ume will be found a practical and trustworthy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Motor Cyclist's Handbook the Classic 1911 Guide to the Construction and Management of Motorcycles


Book Description

"It has been said, with truth, that an inherent love of things mechanical finds a more or less definitive place in the character of every Englishman..." So begins The Motor Cyclist's Handbook, a wonderful text from 1911 that describes in detail the operation of early motorcycles. Created by Charles S. Lake, who wrote weekly columns in The Model Engineer magazine, the book was an instant classic. Today it is just as readable. Lavishly illustrated, the book includes chapters on the engine, including two-stroke and four cylinder, compression, carburetor, ignition, transmission, lubrication, accessories, and so on. Some of the bikes featured include the Rudge, Triumph, Hudson, Indian, Scott, and others. It's a delightful trip back in time for any biker - from the collector to the weekend rider. This easy-to- read reprint of this exceptionally rare book is presented in 8.5x11 format, sightly larger than the original. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
