Details

Translated from Kodansha's Childrens Colour Encyclopaedia. Distributed by Time-Life Books.

Motor vehicles are more familiar to us than any other means of transport. We can hardly imagine what our daily life would be like without them. Yet it is less than a hundred years since the first practicable motor-car engine was invented by the German Engineer, Gottlieb Daimler. As motor vehicles developed, millions of kilometres of roads and highways were constructed. In this section, we shall learn about the different kinds of motor vehicles, their history, and the way they work. We shall also study various highway systems.
