Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Build a motor bicycle from the frame up. This 1906 workshop guide sets out every stage of the job, from casting the frame lugs to fitting the ignition coil.Paul N. Hasluck was the father of the do-it-yourself book, and this volume belongs to the moment when a motor bicycle was still something a capable person could make on a bench at home. It covers the frame and its castings, the patterns to cast them from, the building of a 3 1/2 h.p. petrol motor, spray carburettors for two sizes of engine, ignition coils, and a light-weight motor designed to be attached to an ordinary roadster bicycle.This is a working manual rather than a history: dimensions, materials, and method, set down plainly and illustrated throughout with engravings and diagrams. Motor Bicycle Building remains the clearest surviving account of how the earliest machines were actually put together, and it is still worth having at the bench by anyone restoring one or making a part from scratch.This edition features:- Complete instructions for making a motor bicycle frame, from patterns and castings through to final assembly- Chapters on building a 3 1/2 h.p. petrol motor, spray carburettors, and ignition coils for it- A light-weight petrol motor designed for attachment to an ordinary roadster bicycle- Numerous engravings and working diagrams, reproduced from the original 1906 text- A short biography of Paul Nooncree Hasluck, master of technical writing and a name still trusted at the bench
