International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons (Classic Reprint)
International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from International Auto Buggies and Auto Wagons <p>The designers of the International auto buggy considered serviceability as the first requisite. A century of carriage building has taught makers that lightness and strength were absolutely necessary in vehicles for country, town, and rural roads. The combination of both these features has resulted in the International auto buggy, a car that has all the advantages of a buggy and none of its disadvantages, and for this reason it is the only logical successor to the horse and buggy. <p>The high wheels give abundant road clearance and the solid rubber tires elim inate tire troubles. So great is the difference in cost that an entire set of solid rubber tires can be purchased for the price of one good pneumatic tire. These features eliminate the excessive cost that is common to the automobile with pneu matic tires. It means greater service and a more dependable car, for the simple reason that the driver is not obliged to stop and repair a puncture when he is several miles in the country. One great feature of the International auto buggy that will appeal to every user of country roads is the fact that this car does no more harm to any roadbed than the ordinary spring wagon, which cannot be said of high-speed pneumatic-tire machines. For this reason the International auto buggy will commend itself to all those who desire good roads, and particularly to those who are taxed heavily for their maintenance. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The result was the famous Scout 80.<br><br>Making its debut in late 1960, the Scout set the stage for 4-wheel drive utility vehicles of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and today enjoys cult-status among automotive and truck enthusiasts.

International Harvester Tractors
International Harvester Tractors

In this comprehensive and readable book, tractor expert Jonathan Whitlam tells the story of the development of International Harvester from its North American roots in the 1900s. The book covers developments from the early combustion-engine machines to the merger with Case in 1985 and ownership by Fiat in 1999. The story of International Harvester is inextricably tied up with developments in farming. While the giant tractors such as the Titans and Moguls could take on large-scale agriculture, smaller tractors were developed for more modest farms. The development of the famous all-purpose Farmall tractor in 1920 not only set a new benchmark in tractor design, it also completed the revolution in mechanisation of agriculture in the United States. From 1949 some International Harvester tractors were built in Britain and the book goes on to reveal the importance of European developments, including German designs in the 1980s and 1990s after the amalgamation with Case. Accompanied by a rich selection of colour photographs, this fascinating book is a complete account of both the UK and European as well as American IH tractors.

Excerpt from International Hay Presses: International Harvester Company of America, Incorporated, Chicago, USA <p>In localities where but little or no hay is grown, and where there is a big demand for hay, high prices will be offered. The best markets are, as a rule, found in large cities, and on account of the limited space offered for storage in cities, there is a greater demand for baled hay than for loose hay. If the hay is baled it can be easily shipped to the market offering the highest price. <p>In feeding hay to his own stock, the farmer will find a great convenience and saving in having it baled, as it is much easier to handle baled hay than it is to drag loose hay around with a fork, and there is always considerable waste when loose hay is fed, due to its being scattered about the barn or feed lot. Baled hay can be stacked much easier and better than loose hay, and on account of the compactness of the stacks they can be protected from the weather by canvas coverings at a low cost. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
