Text 4. MOTOR CAR CLUBS AND MUSEUMS

 

There are about 3,000 Americans who like to collect antique cars.

They have several clubs such as Antique Automobile Club and Veteran Motor Car Club, which specialize in rare models.

The clubs practice meetings where members can exhibit their cars.

Collectors can also advertise in magazines published by their clubs.

Some magazines specialize in a single type of car such as glorious Model ”T”

In England there is the famous Beaulieu Motor Museum - the home for veteran cars. There is a car called The Knight in this museum. It is the first British petrol-driven car. Its top speed was only 8 mph.

The founder of the Museum is Lord Montagu, the son of one of England's motoring pioneers, who opened it in 1952 in memory of his father. Lord Montagu's father was the first person in England to be fined by the police for speeding. He was fined 5 pounds for going faster than 12 miles per hour.

In the Museum's collection there is a car called the Silver Ghost.

It was built by Rolls-Royce in 1907 and called the Silver Ghost because it ran so silently and was painted silver.

Charles Rolls was born in 1881 in Great Britain. He died in 1910.

He was an aristocrat and businessman. He was especially interested in cars. Once he met another enthusiast of cars Henry Royce.

Henry Royce was a famous car engineer. They decided to design the most comfortable and reliable car.

At the beginning of the 20th century it seemed to be a fantasy. But they worked hard and at last in 1907 they created the world-famous Rolls-Royce car. It was so comfortable and reliable that one of the models of Rolls-Royce cars "Silver Ghost" hadn't changed greatly for 20 years since 1907.

 

Are there motor car clubs and museums in America and England?

What models do these clubs and museums specialize in?

What rare cars are exhibited in these clubs and museums?

Text 5. THE ERA OF THE GASOLINE-POWERED AUTOMOBILE

 

Inventors on both sides of the Atlantic discovered during the 1880s that tech­nologies for making self-propelled carriages and wagons had progressed dramat­ically. Soon sundry vehicles powered by steam, internal combustion engines, and electricity were rolling across Germany, France, and the United States.

The first practical internal combustion engine was built by Etienne Lenoir, a Belgian living in France. Patented in 1860, his water-cooled contraption burned coal gas and was noisy and inefficient; even so, for two decades it had many buyers. Lenoir's engine was a clear proof of concept to other inventors, especially in Europe.

Nikolaus Otto, a German, was one of many inspired by Lenoir's technical and commercial success. Me­chanically gifted, Otto sought to improve the Lenoir en­gine, and in the late 1870s he did. Otto's four-cycle design embodied features that would become standard in gasoline automobile engines.

The cars of that time were very small, two-seated cars with no roof, driven by an engine placed under the scat. Motorists had to carry large cans of fuel and sep­arate spare parts, for there were no repair or filling sta­tions to serve them.

The Otto engine and the many clones it spawned, though intended to replace small steam engines in in­dustry, inaugurated the era of the gasoline-powered automobile. Clearly, the compact internal com­bustion engine was a most suitable technology for the self-propelled ve­hicle.

Karl Benz, also a German, em­ployed his own Otto-type engine to power a three-wheel carriage in 1885. These tri-wheelers, with a one-cyl­inder engine that developed 0.8 hp, were put on the market in 1887, per­haps the earliest commercial auto­mobiles.

In 1891 Benz added a four-wheel motorized carriage to his company's offerings. These automobiles sold well and were widely imitated. In the early 1890s, for example, Panhard et Levassor as well as Peugeot in France were peddling cars to the public. Henry Ford, however, was still a long way from building automobiles.

Who built the first practical internal combustion engine?

Who improved the Lenoir engine?

What era did the Otto engine inaugurate?

Who introduced the first commercial automobile?

Text 6. THE ENGINE

The word engine originally meant any ingenious device, and came from the Greek word ingenious, clever. Any kind of vehicle must be able to move. The ability to move demands power. A machine that produces mechanical power or energy is called an engine or a power plant.

Engines present one of the most interesting groups of problems considered in the engineering field. One of the main problems is receiving the maximum possible power or thrust for minimum weight. The weight is included in the factor called the weight/power ratio, which may be defined as the weight in pounds per horse power output.

Another important problem is that of fuel. Both in the past and today the designers work at the problem of getting lower specific fuel consumption. Specific fuel consumption is obtained by dividing the weight of the fuel burned per hour by the horse power developed.

Another possible problem considered in any engine is its flexibility. Flexibility is the ability of the engine to run smoothly and perform properly at all speeds and through all variations of atmospheric conditions.

One more important problem worked at by the designers is the engine reliability. The engine is to have a long life, with maximum of time between overhaul periods. In some cases the problem of balance is one of the main. Balance has several possible meanings but the principle factor is freedom from vibration. Besides any engine must be started easily and carry its full load in a few minutes. There are gasoline engines, diesel engines, gas turbines, steam engines, jet engines and rocket engines. Each of them has certain advantages and disadvantages over other forms of power plants.

 

What did the word engine originally mean?

What machine is called an engine or a power plant?

Text 7. THE DIESEL ENGINE

In 1890s, Rudolf Diesel, a German, invented the engine that bears his name. As distinguished from gasoline engines diesels have no ignition system fed with electricity. The fuel is ignited simply by contact with very hot air in the cylinder.

The operation performed is like this: when taken in the cylinder the air is highlycompressed, the temperature rises so the heated fuel-air mixture burns. The higher the pressure, the higher the temperature. Besides the compressed mixture produced more power than that uncompressed.

Diesel engines power many of the used vehicles and other equipment. They are usually used in cases where engine weight is not a prime factor. Their advantage is that they are simple in design and use much heavier liquid fuels than gasoline engines. The cost of a heavier fuel is much less than that of a light one. Besides the fuel consumption of a diesel is much less than that of gasoline en­gines.

Although applied for many purposes diesel engines have certain disadvantag­ing. Their weight is more than that of a gasoline engine of the same power and it occupies much space. The disadvantages of diesels as passenger-car engines are slow performance, noise and smoke.

All the companies investigating diesels are trying to reduce noise and smoke, but the problems are not yet entirely solved. Diesel engines clatter when started on a cold morning. And the warm-up period for all diesels seems too long to drivers accustomed to gasoline models.
