Excerpt from Dyke's Automobile Encyclopedia: Second Edition Revised and Enlarged in 40 Parts Including a Dictionary, Index and 175 Charts Treating on Construction, Operation, Repairing of Automobile and Gasoline Engines The writer makes no attempt to treat the subject in a theoretical manner, his idea being to adhere strictly to the practical side of the subject. The matter herein covers the explanation of all types of cars - not individually but in general. For instance: there are three types of drives employed to transmit the power from the engine to the rear axle, viz: The single chain, the double chain and the shaft or propeller drive.
