This is a general interest trade book that describes the
development of automotive technology and engineering from the start
of the industry before 1900 to the present day. It explains how
various systems and elements in the automobile work in layman's
terms, without resorting to mathematics, and highlights the
keymilestones in the historical development of automotive
technology. All photos and illustrations are in full color. The
intended audience is older teens to adults of any age who are
interested in the subject and may be involved in it as a hobby.
Sometimes referred to as "gearheads" or "motorheads", they form a
huge market. Over the years many of the author's engineering
students were in this category, and he often would meet with
on-campus car clubs to explain the way things automotive worked,
being careful to damp down or eliminate any complicated
mathematics, as he does in this book. An Internet search found only
titles that are either "hard-engineering oriented" -- such as
publications from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) -- or
mere compendiums of dates. Books in the latter category note the
milestones but without hardly any explanation at all of how these
developments actually work in a technical sense - which is the aim
of this book. "Automotive Milestones, by Robert L. Norton, is about
all the mechanisms that are needed in an automobile and how they
work. The book consists of eight main chapters, each one covering a
major mechanical system of the automobile plus a summary chapter
and appendices. There are numerous photographs and illustrations
used throughout the book to support the concepts discussed. The
author has thoroughly researched the subject and leaves the reader
with a new appreciation of what has been tried over the nearly 250
years of automobile history. The book is logically organized and
clearly explained in a way that only a person with in-depth
knowledge could do. His latest book is Automotive Milestones which
provides the cornerstones of a thorough understanding of automobile
technology. If you are just looking for a general understanding of
the automobile, looking for inspiration in support of a new idea,
or just want a concise history of automotive milestones, this book
is a must read."-Parker Ackley, Antique Automobile Enthusiast Did
you ever wonder?... Who formed the first automobile company in
America? When and who made the first fully automatic transmission?
(Hint: it was not GM in 1939) What is the difference between sprung
and unsprung weight in a car, and why does it matter? When did the
frame of a car get replaced by the unibody? How does a differential
work? It took more than 100 years to develop the modern automobile.
This book presents a very readable and informative description of
this evolution. The author, Robert Norton, is an engineer with many
years of experience in the design of machinery. Automotive
Milestomes is a clear presentation of the internal workings of the
automobile over the years. No matter whether you are a seasoned car
buff or just curious to learn more about the history of cars, you
will enjoy reading this book.-William J. Crochetiere, Professor
Emeritus, Tufts University Robert L. Norton, P.E. has 50 years
experience in the practice and teaching of mechanical engineering.
He holds undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering and
industrial technology from Northeastern University, and a M.S. in

The books in the Everyday Modifications series are designed to
guide classic van and car owners through the workshop skills needed
to make their vehicles easier to use and enjoy. This book is
concerned with improving the 4-cylinder Spitfire and Herald, and
the 6-cylinder Vitesse and GT6, with engines ranging in size from
948cc to 1998cc. Classic car author and journalist Iain Ayre gives
his hands-on advice on maintaining and modifying the Triumph
Herald/Vitesse and Spitfire/GT6, covering both keeping them going
and either subtly or dramatically improving them, with additional
rescue options offered for Triumphs deemed economically terminal.
In the crowded field of handbooks about car maintenance, this book
is unique in that it is not your typical petrol-head's guide to car
maintenance: it has a sense of humour and an attitude and is
written with women in mind. "The Garage Girl's Guide to Everything
You Need to Know About Your Car" provides tips for proper car care
and a guide to preventive maintenance to keep your motor in top
form. The book discusses everything from basic maintenance to
customising a car. Readers will learn: how to familiarise
themselves with everything under the bonnet; the essentials of car
maintenance, from oil changes to setting up an emergency kit for
the boot; how to keep tires in top form, spot problems early on,
and choose the right replacements; what to do when the car sounds
funny, smells funny, or acts funny; how to change a tire, swap a
fuse, cool down a radiator, and jump-start a vehicle.
After the Second World War, cars in Britain were very hard to come
by. Most new models had to go for export or were reserved for those
drivers who needed them the most, such as doctors. Petrol was still
rationed, roads inadequate and modern technology lacking. With the
arrival of the 1950s, things slowly began to change: Morris, Austin
and Ford put increasing numbers of British families on the road,
new sports cars from MG, Jaguar, Triumph and Austin-Healey promised
a thrilling drive, and innovative motors such as the Land Rover and
the bubble car emerged. By 1958, new car buying was leading a
consumer boom, and Britain's manufacturers still had the market to
themselves. Giles Chapman investigates the fascinating motoring
history of the 1950s.

The 190 (W 201) was a landmark car for Mercedes-Benz: the
predecessor to today's C-Class models, it was the company's first
compact saloon (sedan) and combined advanced engineering with a new
direction in body styling, later followed by the W124 and R129
series. Engines available included robust petrol and diesel
`fours', as well as a silky `straight-six'. The sporting 190 E
2.3-16 and 2.5-16 models, initially developed with Cosworth, took
Mercedes to new levels of performance. Altogether, nearly 1.9
million cars were produced, and today the 190 is an increasingly
sought-after modern classic. This guide will help you learn about
the differences between models, and what to look for when buying.
What are the true running costs, and what issues - with the
mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of? Is a
restoration worth considering? This handy guide will take you
step-by-step through the process of finding and evaluating a good
190 and making a successful purchase. Essential data and
information about clubs and specialists will help you look after
and enjoy your 190.
