Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Henry Ford introduced his Model T in 1908, and changed the face of America. The arrival of the "Tin Lizzie" on city streets also signaled the beginning of the end for a debate that had raged since the beginning of the motor car era. Namely, "What is the best propulsion system for autos: steam, electric, or gasoline?" Originally published in 1915 as an engineering text, The Gasoline Automobile is a classic book that provides rare insights into the early days of the automobile revolution. Within its pages you will find descriptive text supported by numerous rare photos and illustrations....

The Traction Engine Its Use and Abuse
ISBN: 9781935700562 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Developed in the late 1850s, the traction engine revolutionized the agriculture industry. James H. Maggard, an authority on steam power, wrote The Traction Engine for the "rough and tumble engineers" tasked with operating these machines in the field. That was not an altogether easy task even for a seasoned professional. Breakdowns, boiler explosions, and injury could result if an operator was inattentive. This reprint of the 1900 edition of the book features expanded chapters on the subject of threshing machines and the new internal combustion engine models. Illustrated throughout, and...

Three-Wheelers
ISBN: 9780747802822 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) It is generally accepted that Karl Benz was the inventor of the motor car in 1885 but it is less well known that his car was a three-wheeler. Starting with the developments in the early years, this book puts three-wheelers in their historical context and describes the companies which produced them. For the first twenty-five years three and four wheel designs were developed side by side but the three-wheeler had severe bodywork limitations and four wheels gave a far more stable platform on which to build. Motoring at this time was limited to the wealthy and manufacturers began to realise that...

British Sports Cars of the 1950s and ’60s
ISBN: 9780747814320 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Nobody built sports cars like British manufacturers in the 1950s and 1960s. There was something very special about the combination of low-slung open two-seater bodywork with a spartan interior, a slick sporting gearchange and a rorty exhaust note. This was wind-in-the-hair motoring, and it was affordable by the average young man - at least, until he got married and had a family. The names of MG and Triumph stood proudly out from the rest, but there were many others as well. Austin-Healeys and Jaguars were grander and faster, but they still embodied that almost indefinable fun factor. Then... Nobody built sports cars like British manufacturers in the 1950s and 1960s.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In November 1949, a new epoch of automotive history began with the introduction of the first small transporter by Volkswagen. Like no other light utility vehicle before, the variety-rich space-saver from Wolfsburg has influenced the development of a new generation of functional, multipurpose minibuses.

The Silver Ghost: A Supernatural Car
ISBN: 9781854432285 / Angielski / Twarda / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) To say that Jonathan Harley knows his subject inside out is no exaggeration; in the past four decades he has restored over one hundred Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts, frequently resurrecting them from little more than a pile of scrap or a long-abandoned chassis. He knows every nut and bolt of these magnificent vehicles, an intimate knowledge that was put to good use in identifying, sometimes only by bolt design or the position of a hole in a crossmember, exactly which chassis he was working on, settling disputes over authenticity which had reverberated for years. But in this fascinating and...

The Myth of Japanese Efficiency: The World Car Industry in a Globalizing Age
ISBN: 9781845420413 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Combining case studies with accessible but rigorous production models and historical background, this provocative book challenges accepted views on Japanese production methods in the world car industry. The book argues that the 'lean and flexible' production model popularly associated with Toyota MC is a myth, but one which sheds light on cultural responses to the attendant stresses of globalization. To illustrate this, Dan Coffey provides individual studies of process flexibility, labour productivity and the re-organization of work in the global car industry.
