By O.A. Witte 1920. This book covers the care and repair of the automobile storage battery; a third edition published in 1920 by O.A. Witte. The lead-acid automobile battery has not changed considerably in the last one-hundred years. The common automotive battery is probably the least known and misunderstood part of any automobile in the last one-hundred years and might well be the most important part in automotive history for the next one-hundred years! This book will take you from page 1 where the "substitution of an electric lighting system for the inconvenient oil and gas lamps ... which consumed many matches" to 1920s technology. A must read for the technical minded sojourner. pp. 402. Leather bound in good condition.
