Putnam's Automobile Handbook: The Care and Management of the Modern Motor-Car

"Putnam's Automobile Handbook: The Care and Management of the Modern Motor-Car" by H. Clifford Brokaw is a manual from the early 1900s that shares how to understand and take care of cars. It gives simple instructions for fixing problems, doing regular maintenance, and understanding how a car works. The book pulls from real-world experience, in an easy-to-understand form, for car owners who want to know how to look after their vehicles. It came from lessons taught at the Automobile School of the West Side Young Men’s Christian Association in New York City. Its goal is to teach regular drivers about their cars without using complicated, technical language, and to give useful advice. It points out how important it is for people to read the manuals that come with their own cars. It preps readers for learning about ways to find and fix problems, and to follow good habits so owning a car is easier.
