A Field Guide to Automotive Technology


Ed Sobey, "A Field Guide to Automotive Technology"
Chicago Review Press | 2009 | ISBN: 1556528124 | 208 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB

Open the hood of your car and you’ll find a confusing mishmash of wires, tubes, and mechanical devices. What are all of those things? Written for mechanical novices who may not know their catalytic converters from their universal joints, A Field Guide to Automotive Technology will help them gain a basic understanding of how their automobiles function. How does an airbag know when to deploy? What is rack and pinion steering? And where exactly does a dipstick dip? Even seasoned gearheads will learn from this guide as it traces the history and development of mechanisms they may take for granted.
