"A Boy's Text Book on Gas Engines: A Book for Boys Describing and Explaining in Simple Language the Automobile Gas Engine" by Fay Leone Faurote is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This instructional book aims to demystify the workings of automobile gas engines for young readers, providing detailed explanations of mechanical principles in an accessible manner. Faurote, who held a degree in mechanical engineering and was a former instructor at the Detroit Motor School, created this work to serve as an engaging educational resource for boys interested in mechanics and engineering. The book covers various topics related to gas engines, starting with the basic principles of operation, including the four-stroke cycle and the anatomy of engine components like cylinders, pistons, valves, and ignition systems. Using relatable analogies, such as comparing the piston to a bullet in a cannon, Faurote simplifies complex concepts, encouraging young learners to understand how gas engines function in a straightforward and engaging way. Illustrations accompany the text to provide visual explanations, making the mechanics of gas engines comprehensible to readers with little to no prior knowledge. Overall, the book serves as both an introduction to automotive engineering and a valuable reference for young enthusiasts seeking to explore the world of gas engines.
