Peter Martin Heldt (1875-1957) was the Engineering Editor of the American trade journal Automotive Industries. He wrote and published several related books, including Automotive Engines, High Speed Combustion Engines and The Automotive Chassis.
This fourth volume was a later addition to The Gasoline Automobile, identified by Heldt as covering "all those components of the car that might be grouped under the term 'fuel system'." Extremely scarce in the UK.
