Synopsis

Excerpt from The Gasoline Automobile: A Practical Discussion of the Development and Present Status of the Automobile

Of all the applications of the internal-combustion motor, it is safe to say that none is more important than that applied to the propulsion of the modern motor vehicle - the automobile, which nowadays throngs the roads and streets Of all civilization, serving a myriad of utilities as they never have been and never could be served by animal transportation.

Standardized, inexpensive to buy, and inexpensive to operate, almost unfailingly reliable, and proved capable of use in the hands Of even the most unmechanical of operators, the automobile is at last coming fully into its own - its design becoming recognized as a branch Of engineering by itself, its manufacture constituting one of the greatest Of the mechanical industries, and its use being a common necessity.
