There are no hard and fast rules which can be laid down to insure a person becoming proficient in driving an automobile.
Some people have the erroneous idea that only those who have received a first class mechanical training
can become good operators.

BY FREDERICK LUCAS

THE object of this work is to assist those interested in the motor industry and pastime to read the foreign technical literature devoted to the subject. I have
translated into the respective languages the technical terms used in the various journals and the catalogues of the leading English and French makers. The work
embodies all the component parts of the vehicles and machinery at present on the market, and should therefore be of service to the user, the manufacturer,
and the patent agent. The technical terms which are peculiar to cycles are printed in italics.

THE BADMINGTON LIBRARY 
OF 
SPORTS AND PASTIMES
EDITED BY
ALFRED E. T. WATSON

the BADMINTON Library comes to an end, at least so far as is at present contemplated ' ; but noting how, since the issue of ' Hunting ' in 1885,
Golf and Cycling had attained such extraordinary prominence and popularity, I added, ' Who can say what sport may not spring up and take the public fancy?
If any such does arise, a volume about it will doubtless be written.' Motoring—for the verb will have to be accepted and recognised—is such a sport, or, if the
description be not admitted on all hands, is at any rate, for reasons set forth in the following chapters, sufficiently near to sport to require inclusion ; and therefore
no excuse seems necessary for this book.

12. My job and why I like it (1948) 180 pages

In September and October, 1947, General Motors held a contest for its employes. It was based on the statement
MY JOB AND WHY I LIKE IT, and rapidly became known around General Motors as the My Job
Contest, or MJC. The contest was open to all hourly rate employes and some salaried employes. All they had to do was write
a letter any length explaining why they liked their jobs. The winners were picked by independent judges
on the basis of sincerity, originality and subject matter, without consideration of writing ability.

13. Story of the automobile from the first toy car to the present self propelled vehicle (1905) 234 pages

''Do you know when the first automobile was run?"

 The question started me to investigate and the result in the following pages is a little story of the automobile.
When retrospective views of past centuries are indulged, it usually leads the thinking mortal by the process of antithesis, to make predictions for
the greater development of the things that are known, or to foretell of "coming events that cast their shadows before."

16. The importance of the model change (1961)

The automobile show is a great  tradition in our industry. The  first one was held here in New York at old Madison Square Garden in 1900. Cars were actually driven
around the sawdust ring — to prove, I suppose, that they really could run. Since then we have had many auto shows — industry
shows and company shows like our own Motoramas. These shows are always timed to coincide with new-model introductions, and because of
that fact we feel they have done a great deal to spark progress in our industry — giving us a cutoff point, a deadline when we had to be ready with new and
better cars and trucks.
