Excerpt from Modern Motor Car Practice
One approaches the writing of a preface of this nature with very mixed feelings. Since this work was first mooted, two years ago, many changes have taken place, and I am afraid that it has not been possible strictly to follow the lines originally laid down for the treatment of the book. During the War, of course, vast forward steps were made in scientific and technical matters. Actually, however, the motor industry and motor designs were in 1918 substantially as in 1914, because such matters as progress and economy were subordinate during the War period to steady and continued output and mechanical trustworthiness. At the same time we were justified in believing that the first year of peace would see almost revolutionary changes in design.
