A 1914 American technical manual by Victor W. Pagé, published by Norman W. Henley in New York, explaining gas tractor design, operation and repair for farmers and mechanics without engineering training. Halftone photographs and line diagrams label parts with leader lines: cleated traction wheels, bull gears, chain drives, exposed cylinders and transmission plans, useful for machine-part silhouettes and annotated cutaway layouts.
