About the book:
PUBLISHER'S FOREWORD

A book, such as this, is as important as gas, oil and tools to the motor car owner. Through sheer worth and practical value this book has won its place as the leading handbook published on the modern automobile. Now in its Fifth Edition. it is about to pass the One hundred thousand mark-a remarkable record for any technical book of necessarily high cost.

The manufacturer of your car has placed in your hands a wonderful piece of mechanism; we are apt to overlook this fact in anything so commonplace as an automobile. Just what you get out of it, in utility and pleasure, now depends upon yourself.

The purpose of this book is to make it possible for you to easily maintain your car in perfect condition; to understand, clearly, its every part; to make it easy for you to get maximum mileage at minimum cost, maximum comfort and utility with a minimum of trouble and inconvenience.

The author, H. W. Slauson, M.E., is one of the leading automotive engineers of the country, chairman of The Metropolitan Section. of the Society of Automotive Engineers; Motor Editor of JUDGE; an authority of national reputation.

There is a simple reason for every part in your car. In this book Mr. Slauson explains the why of each part, its construction and functions, just how to maintain each part in first-class operating condition. In the event that trouble does develop, he tells just how to locate it and the how of the remedy of the difficulty, no matter how slight or how serious, in terms that are easily under- stood by everyone.

As a motor car owner or driver, this book will prove to be worth its weight in gold to everyone who makes full use of it.

PREFACE

EVERYMAN’S CAR is as good or as poor as he makes it. Neglect of adjustments or slight repairs will soon ruin the best car made. A deficient car, on the other hand, may be "nursed" along for thousands of miles and be made to give fairly good service, when you understand its defects and put a little time and thought on their remedy.

This book is not a text-book; nothing in it is to be committed to memory; it is a practical, complete operating and maintenance handbook for the motor car owner who realizes that it is well worth his while to understand his car. The book is full of practical information and nothing else.

It tells you what you can do when anything goes wrong and the simplest, easiest, quickest way to do it.

It tells you how far the average car owner may go in making his own adjustments and repairs and what jobs are best turned over to garage or service station.

It tells you how to avoid the petty annoyances that too often detract from the value and pleasure of a car and how to maintain your car in the snappy condition in which it was delivered to you

It is written for everyone who Owns a car, Drives a car, Sells a car, Repairs a car. It gets right down to useful facts that are easy to find and plainly labeled.

You do not have to thumb through the whole book to find a thing -work direct from the Illustrated Index, the whole book is self- indexing.

Your car may seem like a collection of mysteries; considered as a whole it is a complex piece of mechanism. But it is built up of a number of parts, each of which is simple in itself and easily under- stood-think of one part at a time and mystery and complexity disappear.

Men who drive their own cars need not be "stumped" at anything; turn to the book, make your diagnosis, apply the remedy.

H. W. SLAUSON, M.E. less
