| Summary |
"Putnam's Automobile Handbook: The Care and Management of the Modern Motor-Car" by H. Clifford Brokaw and Charles A. Starr is a practical guide written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the care and operation of modern automobiles, offering insights into maintenance, troubleshooting, and basic mechanical knowledge for car owners. It serves to empower individuals with the understanding they need to manage and care for their vehicles effectively. The opening of this handbook establishes its practical nature, detailing its position as a collection of insights distilled from years of experience at the Automobile School of the West Side Young Men’s Christian Association in New York City. The foreword emphasizes the book's intention to fill a gap in automotive knowledge for everyday drivers, steering clear of technical jargon and focusing instead on practical advice. Readers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with their specific vehicle manuals since the authors underline the importance of understanding one’s own car to avoid unnecessary issues. The introduction primes the reader for a deeper dive into various troubleshooting methods, maintenance tips, and best practices that will make car ownership less daunting and more efficient.
