TEXT 8D THE EARLY DAYS OF THE AUTOMOBILE
1. One of the earliest attempts to propel a vehicle by mechanical power was suggested by Isaac Newton. But the first self-propelled vehicle was constructed by the French military engineer Cugnot in 1763. He built a steam-driven engine which had three wheels, carried two passengers and ran at maximum speed of four miles. The carriage was a great achievement but it was far from perfect and extremely inefficient. The supply of steam lasted only 15 minutes and the carriage had to stop every 100 yards to make more steam.
2. In 1825 a steam engine was built in Great Britain. The vehicle carried 18 passengers and covered 8 miles in 45 minutes. However, the progress of motor cars met with great opposition in Great Britain. Further development of the motor car lagged because of the restrictions resulting from legislative acts. The most famous of these acts was the Red Flag Act of 1865, according to which the speed of the steam-driven vehicles was limited to 4 miles per hour and a man with a red flag had to walk in front of it.
Motoring really started in the country after the abolition of this act.
3. In Russia there .were cities where motor cars were outlawed altogether. When, the editor of the local newspaper in the city of Uralsk bought a car, the "governor issued these instructions to the police: "When the vehicle appears in the streets, it is to be stopped and escorted to the police station, where its driver is to be prosecuted."
4. From i860 to 1900 was a period of the application of gasoline engines to motor cars in many countries, The first to perfect gasoline engine was N. Otto who introduced the four-stroke cycle of operation. By that time motor cars got a standard shape and appearance.
In 1896 a procession of motor cars took place from London to Brighton to show how reliable the new vehicles were. In fact, many of the cars broke, for the transmissions were still unreliable and constantly gave trouble.
The cars of that time were very small, two-seated cars with no roof, driven by an engine placed under the seat. Motorists had to carry large cans of fuel and separate spare tyres, for there were no repair or filling stations to serve them.
After World War I it became possible to achieve greater reliability of motor cars, brakes became more efficient. Constant efforts were made to standardize common components. Multi-cylinder engines came into use, most commonly used are four-cylinder engines.
5. Like most other great human achievements, the motor car is not the product of any single inventor. Gradually the development of vehicles driven by internal combustion engine - cars, as they had come to be known, led to the abolition of earlier restrictions. Huge capital began to flow into the automobile industry.
From 1908 to 1924 the number of cars in the world rose from 200 thousand to 20 million; by 1960 it had reached 60 million! No other industry had ever developed at such a rate.
6. There are about 3,000 Americans who like to collect antique cars. They have several clubs such as Antique Automobile Club and Veteran Motor Car Club, which specialize in rare models. The clubs practise meetings where members can exhibit their cars. Collectors can also
advertise in the magazines published by their clubs. Some magazines specialise in a single type of car such as glorious Model "T". A number of museums have exhibitions of antique automobile models whose glory rings in automobile history. But practically the best collection -100 old cars of great rarity - is in possession of William Harrah. He is very influential in his field. The value of his collection is not only historical but also practical: photographs of his cars are used for films and advertisements.
7. In England there is the famous "Beaulieu Motor Museum" - the home for veteran cars.
The founder of the Museum is Lord Montague, the son of one of Englands motoring pioneers, who opened it in 1952 in memory of his father. Lord Montagues father was the first person in England to be fined by the police for speeding. He was fined 5 pounds for going faster than 12 miles per hour!
In the Museum''s collection there is a car called the Silver Ghost which people from near and far go to see. It was built by Rolls-Royce in 1907, and called the Silver Ghost because it ran so silently and was painted silver.
There is a car called The Knight. It is the first British petrol-driven car. Its top speed was only 8 m.p .h.!
In the Museum there is also a two-seater car built in 1903.

TEXT 8D первые дни АВТОМОБИЛЯ
1. Одна из самых ранних попыток для приведения в движение транспортных средств за счет механической энергии была предложена Исааком Ньютоном. Но первое самоходное транспортное средство был построен французским военным инженером Cugnot в 1763. Он построил двигатель паровым приводом , который имел три колеса, нес два пассажира и выбежала на максимальной скорости четырех миль. Карета было большим достижением , но это было далеко от совершенства и крайне неэффективно. Подача пара длилась всего 15 минут , а экипаж должен был остановить каждые 100 ярдов , чтобы сделать больше пар.
2. В 1825 году паровой двигатель был построен в Великобритании. Транспортное средство осуществляется 18 пассажиров и охватывает 8 миль за 45 минут. Тем не менее, прогресс автомобилей встретился с большой оппозицией в Великобритании. Дальнейшее развитие двигателя автомобиля отставал из - за ограничений , вытекающих из законодательных актов. Самым известным из этих актов был Закон о Красный флаг 1865 года, в соответствии с которым скорость паровых механических транспортных средств было ограничено до 4 миль в час и человек с красным флагом должен был идти перед ним.
Motoring действительно началась в стране после отмены этого акта.
3. В России .were города , где легковые автомобили были объявлены вне закона в целом. Когда, редактор местной газеты в городе Уральске купил автомобиль, "губернатор издал эти инструкции в полицию:" Когда появляется автомобиль на улицах, он должен быть остановлен и сопроводили в полицейский участок, где его водитель должен быть привлечен к ответственности. "
4. i860 по 1900 был период применения бензиновых двигателей в легковых автомобилей во многих странах, первый усовершенствовать бензиновый двигатель был Н. Отто , который ввел цикл четырехтактный работы. по что время легковые автомобили получили стандартную форму и внешний вид.
в 1896 году процессия легковых автомобилей состоялось из Лондона в Брайтон , чтобы показать , насколько надежны новые транспортные средства были. на самом деле, многие из машин сломалась, для передач по - прежнему ненадежны и постоянно дал неприятности.
автомобили того времени были очень малы, два сидящих автомобилей без крыши, с приводом от двигателя расположен под сиденьем. Автомобилистам приходилось носить с собой большие канистры топлива и отдельных запасных шин, ибо там не было ремонта или АЗС чтобы служить им.
После Первой мировой войны стало возможным добиться большей надежности автомобилей, тормоза стали более эффективными. Постоянные усилия были предприняты для стандартизации общих компонентов. Multi-цилиндровые двигатели стали использоваться, наиболее часто используемыми являются двигатели с четырьмя цилиндрами.
5. Как и большинство других великих достижений человечества, автомобиль не является продуктом какого - либо одного изобретателя. Постепенно развитие транспортных средств , приводимых в действие двигателем внутреннего сгорания - автомобили, так как они стали известны, привели к отмене прежних ограничений. Огромный капитал начал поступать в автомобильной промышленности.
С 1908 по 1924 год количество автомобилей в мире выросло с 200 тысяч до 20 миллионов; к 1960 году она достигла 60 миллионов! Ни одна другая отрасль никогда не разработаны с такой скоростью.
6. Есть около 3000 американцев , которые любят собирать антикварные автомобили. У них есть несколько клубов , таких как Античный автомобильный клуб и ветеран Motor Car Club, которые специализируются в редких моделях. Клубы практикуют встречи , где участники могут выставлять свои автомобили. Коллекторы могут также
разместить рекламу в журналах , изданных их клубами. Некоторые журналы специализируются на одном типе автомобиля , таких как славной модели "Т". Ряд музеев имеют выставки старинных моделей автомобилей , чья слава кольца в автомобильной истории. Но практически лучшая коллекция -100 старые автомобили большой редкостью - во владении Уильяма Харра. Он очень влиятельный в своей области. Ценность его коллекции не только исторические , но и практические: фотографии его машины используются для фильмов и рекламы.
7. В Англии есть знаменитый "Beaulieu Motor Museum". - Дом для ветеранов автомобилей
Основатель музея лорд Монтегю, сын одного из Englands пионеров автомобилизма, который открыл его в 1952 году в память о своем отце. Лорд Монтекки отец был первым человеком в Англии , чтобы быть оштрафован полицией за превышение скорости. Он был оштрафован на 5 фунтов для идти быстрее , чем 12 миль в час!
В коллекции музея '' s есть автомобиль под названием Silver Ghost , который люди из ближнего и дальнего идти , чтобы увидеть. Он был построен Rolls-Royce в 1907 году и называется Silver Ghost , потому что он побежал так тихо и был окрашен серебром.
Существует автомобиль под названием Knight. Это первый британский бензинового автомобиля. Его максимальная скорость составляла только 8 МП .h.!
В музее есть также два-местный автомобиль , построенный в 1903 году.
