Summary: "The Gasoline Motor" by Harold Whiting Slauson is an instructional manual on gasoline engine technology written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a practical guide for understanding the mechanics behind gasoline engines, including their various components and operational principles. It likely covers topics such as motor types, ignition systems, and carburetors, aiming to inform readers on the fundamentals of internal combustion engines. The beginning of the work introduces the various types of gasoline motors, distinguishing between four-cycle and two-cycle engines based on their operation and efficiency. Slauson explains the processes required for the engines to function, detailing how different strokes of the pistons contribute to the intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust cycles. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for deeper exploration of specific engine components, such as valves, bearings, and ignition systems, establishing a comprehensive framework for readers interested in the workings of gasoline motors.
