Electric Vehicles
The electric road vehicle has been around for more than a hundred years. It is most familiar on the morning milk round; nevertheless, the simple, silent and easy to drive electric has a perennial attraction, particularly for town work. In this pollution-conscious age, the electric car has become prominent once more and in this book the author explains the basic workings of the battery and electric motor and considers a great variety of vehicles, from the first land speed record cars through heavy trucks and fashionable broughams, milk and bread delivery vans to today's electric cars and buses. 32 pages
