Truck by Know thy gadgets; first step in restoring some kind of wholeness to one... So observes John Jerome about his purpose for rebuilding a 1950 Dodge pickup. Yes, he needs the truck to haul manure, but Jerome also hopes that “by knowing every nut, lockwasher, and cotter pin I could have a machine that had some meaning to me.” Thus his year-long odyssey under the hood, among the brake shoes and valves, becomes more than a mechanics memoir; it is a meditation on machines, metaphysics, and the moral universe. Long after its publication in 1977, the essential dilemma of Truck still rings true: as Jerome dismantles the aged straight six, he also disassembles our reliance on ;two-hundred-dollar appliances that sport flaws in thirty-five-cent parts; and decries thedeliberate encapsulation, impenetrability, of the overtechnologized things with which we furnish our lives.” Despite gouged knuckles, a frigid New Hampshire winter, frustrating and inexplicable assemblies, and a close call when the truck rolls off its jacks, he perseveres. In the end, he admits, I did not find God out there in the barn among the cans of nuts and bolts. What he does find, however, is that he must make peace with technology; its a mistake, he says, to assume there is a point on that line between the cavemans club and the moon shot that marks the moral turnaround, before which technology was somehow benign, after which it is malign. While Jerome gains a truck that runs. Sometimes we gain new insight into a technology that continues to encroach upon our lives.

Pistons and Engine Testing by The ever-increasing demands placed on combustion engines are just as great when it comes to this centerpiece--the piston. Achieving less weight or friction, or even greater wear resistance, requires in-depth knowledge of the processes taking place inside the engine, suitable materials, and appropriate design and manufacturing processes for pistons, including the necessary testing measures. It is no longer possible for professionals in automotive engineering to manage without specific expertise of this kind, whether they work in the field of design, development, testing, or maintenance. This technical book answers these questions in detail and in a very clear and comprehensible way. In this second, revised edition, every chapter has been revised and expanded. The chapter on "Engine testing", for example, now include extensive results in the area of friction power loss measurement and lube oil consumption measurement.Click on the keyword to search the catalogue or go directly to the shelves.
