--In the first few years of the 20th century the level of technical progress in the construction of motor cars was remarkable, as evidenced by the output from De Dion Bouton’s Puteaux works.
--In September 1899 the company produced its first rear-engined, four-wheeled, twin-speed vehicle with a single cylinder engine, an unsprung back axle, no rear brakes, and very limited accommodation.
--Five years later, in December 1904, a four cylinder, four-speed vehicle, fully sprung and capable of carrying limousine coachwork and a full complement of passengers in comfort over long distances, was available.
--Between 1899 and 1904 De Dion Bouton produced 16 Types of passenger vehicle in single and twin cylinder configuration. With the help of more than 50 line drawings and 150 colour photographs, this books sets out to trace the course of vehicle development, summarises the essential technical information, and clearly identifies the characteristics of each Type.
--An Illustrated Guide to Type & Specification 1899-1904 will be of interest to all veteran car enthusiasts with the appetite to learn more about the vehicles produced at the turn of the century by the world’s largest motor manufacturer.
An illustrated Guide to Type & Specification, 1905-1914 - Michael Edwards. Surrenden Press 2017 369 pages with 300 line drawings and 40.0 colour photo's. English text, hardcover oblong size. Part 2 has a minimal dent on the spine, otherwise very good copy. ISBN 9781916009011
--De Dion-Bouton was, for a time, the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, enjoying a solid reputation and building cars and engines under their own name as well as granting licenses to as many as 150 other makers. When they started, the automobile was still in its infancy and De Dion-Bouton was quite the innovator in those days of rapid change. In fact, no other maker offered as many different engine configurations and types of cars—and this diversification may well have been the company’s downfall.
--If you are new to the world of De Dion-Bouton, start this book by taking a look at the 1905–1914 Type Summary chart. On its own, it is . . . bewildering. The whole system of applying for a “Type” designation, that may or may not be granted, is a peculiarity of the times, especially considering that, for this maker, the difference between one Type and another can be as small as a single different component. Author Edwards uses the Type Sequence as the key for his breakdown of each model’s characteristics and core components.
Both volumes are rarely offered together.
