Automobile Engineering Book

Getting started on this application, we set a goal to present a rather difficult theoretical course on the automobile engineering in the most accessible form. Basic knowledge of vehicles' structure will supply a novice driver with confidence in the fact that he will be able to control the situation of any breakdown, predict the amount of necessary work at the service station and just can competently exploit its vehicle. The free form of presentation, deprived of a dry technical syllable, and a large amount of illustrative material will facilitate the learning process and will make it rapid and efficient. The tutorial may be useful for students of driving schools, novice drivers and a wide range of readers who want to get basic knowledge about the car.
