About This Item
London: Dean's International Publishing, 1983. Computer-designed, robot-built, many of today's cars seem to have travelled an infinite distance since the first motorised vehicles were let loose on the public highways. In fact the modern machines work on the same principles as did those of their ancestors of eighty years ago, they use the same fuel and, in spite of their vastly different looks, are opened in very similar ways. In this book the author traces the line of descent, paying tribute to Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler who made the motoring age possible and to men such as Henry Ford who pioneered mass production.
