White, T. Hyler. Petrol motor and motor cars: a handbook for engineers, designers, and draughtsmen. [*]$1.40. Longmans.
A book which the author feels is needed, because recent automobile literature has not been written for the benefit of designers. Practical rules for the design of the essential parts of motors and motor cars are given, accompanied by figures. There are tables of various kinds to facilitate calculations and to convert English units into metric measures. The illustrations are good, but are not drawn to a given scale.
“The formulas which are given seem to be of a rational nature; but to the reviewer it seems a fault that the derivation of the same are never given. The author discusses at various places the several alternatives for the many parts of a modern automobile; he gives his reason for his choice very clearly and never uses superfluous words, for which fact he deserves praise. Of course it ought not to be necessary to state that it is not always possible to agree with his conclusions. As a book for the special purpose of helping the designers of these engines it appears to the reviewer that it is the best existing book in the English language, notwithstanding the criticisms which have been made above.” Storm Bull.
