Excerpt from Automotive Trade Training As may be gathered from its title, this book has been worked out with one main idea in mind, namely, to present a clear-cut and concise explanation of the automotive-trades theory and practice, to all who are seeking information in this field. Another purpose hardly less important was to bring all this desirable information under one cover. Just as the mechanic must work with the tools at hand, he is very often required to do the job with the information at hand. The various trades are so interrelated that it has not seemed wise to try to treat each one separately. The automotive trades vary widely in content. The automobile repair man makes the usual repairs and installs the new parts necessary to the machinery of the automobile. The automotive electrician handles the repairs and new installation of the electrical equipment. The storage battery man recharges and repairs the battery equipment. The vulcanizer installs new and repairs old tire equipment. The radiator repair man cares for the radiator and other sheet metal repairs. Other phases of the automotive trades work are likewise special fields. However, it is frequently the case that one concern or even one man will be found doing all varieties or several combinations of automotive trades work. The owner is frequently desirous of doing the repair work on his car. With these facts in mind the author has attempted to organize the vast amount of information and to arrange the essential processes so as to give correct trade practice. Correct trade practice is very largely a fixed matter. Not all mechanics use the same methods, but the results arrived at must not vary. For this reason the theory of design and the construction of the parts or units under repair must be understood. Repairs must be carefully made in order to be right. The author is not particularly concerned as to whether the repairs are made by the owner of the car, or by the repair man to whom the owner has entrusted the work. His concern is rather in helping each to do the work in a manner which will result in a safe, satisfactory and permanent job. In other words, this volume is dedicated to the teaching of high standards of workmanship. No attempt has been made to show methods of repair and overhaul on every make of automobile, but every type of equipment has been treated. The description of design and operation is given in the first part of each chapter and the usual line of repair work for that type of equipment appears in the latter part of the chapter. To learn what information is available on any type of equipment, the index should be consulted with reference to both job sheets and general information.
