Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the design and construction of an apparatus to measure the power delivered at the rear wheels of an automobile. The device combines a pressure recorder, linked to the dynamometer, with a speed recorder, driven by a tachometer. The pressure recorder measures the torque, while the speed recorder captures the rotational velocity. The product of these two quantities provides a measure of the power output. The book discusses the theoretical principles behind the instrument, its construction, and the results of its calibration. The author explores the challenges of designing a sensitive and accurate tachometer drive system, highlighting the limitations of flexible shafting and suggesting the use of solid shafts or universal joints as potential solutions. The book contributes to the field of automotive engineering by providing a detailed account of the design and operation of a device that enables the measurement of rear-wheel power output in automobiles. This information is crucial for evaluating the efficiency of transmission systems and assessing the overall performance of vehicles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
