One of them - "Renault", having strong reasons for pride. Lui Renault (1877-1944) was not the technical genius, however in young years, being engaged in manufacture of cars, was not afraid to show the innovative approach, its model 1898 became the proof of that. It is a question of the car with the engine "De Dion" power in 1,75 h.p. on a tubular frame. The car - a copy of the car constructed "Renault" in 1899. On a background - "Renault" 1907. In first models Lui Renault used the engine "De Dion", preferring drive by a propeller shaft chain, that was a considerable technical novelty. On this "babe" the revolutionary gear box on those times with the higher, direct drive has been established. The twisting moment to rear wheels was transferred not by chains, and a shaft with hinges. Thus Renault has put in pawn the new scheme of a final drive which remained invariable till now, anyway for the convinced supporters of a drive gear on rear wheels., but rather functional the propeller shaft was unusual, and popularity of a chain drive gear has gradually gone on recession. However this process developed slowly: so, on taken place in 1903 in Paris to an auto show more than 60 percent of all cars used the rear bridge with a chain drive gear. But it at all does not belittle a merit of Renault. PREVIOUS PAGE 1 2 3 |

In
the end of XIX century automotive industry development moved slowly
and slowly: with modern it made related unless an internal
combustion engine.
Rudolf
Dizel - the few know, who this person. However popularity of his
invention which cannot be overestimated, grows every day. The diesel
engine use both motorists, and railwaymen, and seamen. 
It
is difficult to find an automobile forum in which dispute on the
right and left wheel did not inflame. Division into the right and
left parties of movement has begun even before occurrence of the
first car. 
The
XX-th century beginning is marked in world history by a car industry
birth. The end of 30th years of last century associates, as a rule,
with Germany, Adolf Hitler and the war beginning in Europe.
England
remained behind France and Germany on manufacture of cars. The first
"Daimler", created by Englishmen, has appeared in 1897. It
represented only a model copy "Panhard et Levassor", equipped with
engines "Daimler" which were originally imported from Germany.
