Ignition, Timing And Valve Setting: A Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Self-Instruction for Automobile Owners, Operators, Repairmen, and All Interested in Motoring.. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Thomas Herbert Russell - Edizioni Savine, 2014 -
“ … The object of this treatise is to equip the reader with such a knowledge of the interesting subject of Ignition that he will be able to handle his own particular apparatus with intelligence and skill. The mere consciousness that he understands the principles and construction of his ignition devices will add immensely to his comfort on the road, giving him greater confidence in himself as a driver and stripping the ignition bogey of most of its terrors. Then, too, the very practical sections on Timing and Valve Setting will enable the intelligent reader to make all necessary adjustments of his ignition apparatus and should save many a garage bill. All the systems of ignition in present use are described and illustrated in this work and particular attention is called to the elucidation of the magneto system both high and low tension methods being described in detail in terms that he who runs (a motor-car) may read …” (1909) - The Author
Flying Machines: Construction and Operation / A Practical Book Which Shows, in Illustrations, Working Plans and Text, How to Build and Navigate the Modern Airship. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Thomas Herbert Russell - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019 -
This book is written for the guidance of the novice in aviation—the man who seeks practical information as to the theory, construction and operation of the modern flying machine. With this object in view the wording is intentionally plain and non-technical. It contains some propositions which, so far as satisfying the experts is concerned, might doubtless be better stated in technical terms, but this would defeat the main purpose of its preparation. Consequently, while fully aware of its shortcomings in this respect, the authors have no apologies to make. In the stating of a technical proposition so it may be clearly understood by people not versed in technical matters it becomes absolutely necessary to use language much different from that which an expert would employ, and this has been done in this volume. No man of ordinary intelligence can read this book without obtaining a clear, comprehensive knowledge of flying machine construction and operation. He will learn, not only how to build, equip, and manipulate an aeroplane in actual flight, but will also gain a thorough understanding of the principle upon which the suspension in the air of an object much heavier than the air is made possible. This latter feature should make the book of interest even to those who have no intention of constructing or operating a flying machine. It will enable them to better understand and appreciate the performances of the daring men like the Wright brothers, Curtiss, Bleriot, Farman, Paulhan, Latham, and others, whose bold experiments have made aviation an actuality.
