DRIVING A CAR IN ENGLAND

It is about the same to drive a car in England as anywhere else. To change a

punctured tire in the wind and rain gives about the same pleasure outside London as it does outside Rio de Janeiro; it is not more fun to try to start up a cold motor with the handle in Moscow than it is in Manchester.

There are, however, a few characteristics, which distinguish the English motorists

from the continental ones, and these are some points which the English motorists have to remember.

1) In English towns there is a thirty miles an hour speed limit and the police keep a

watchful eye on law breakers. The fight against reckless driving is conducted extremely skillfully and carefully according to the very best English detective traditions. It is practically impossible to find out whether you are being followed by a police car or not.

There are, however, a few indications which may help you here:

а) the police always use a 70 h.p., blue car;

b) often three uniformed policemen sit in it; and

с) on their cars you can read the word POLICE written in large letters in front and rear.

2) England is the only country in the world where you can leave your lights

on, even if you park in a brilliantly lit-up street. The advantage is that your battery gets exhausted, you cannot start up again, and consequently the number of road accidents is reduced greatly. Safety first!

THE HISTORY OF ENGINES

The first steam engine was made by Heron*, an Alexandrian philosopher and mathematician in the third century BC*. It was a metal ball, empty inside. Steam was produced in a small boiler, it passed into the ball, making it rotate.

Some centuries later a man called Savery constructed a primitive engine to pump water out of mines. It didn’t use pistons or cylinders. In the 18^th century Newcomen, an English engineer, greatly improved Savery’s engine. He used a piston, moving in a cylinder. The next important improvement was introduced by James Watt. His engine was able to keep a high and uniform temperature in the cylinder.

These early engines did not use the force of steam to drive the piston. The steam was used to make a vacuum and the outside air pressed the piston into the vacuum.

But not only steam engines were used in early cars. Vehicles with electrical engines were also invented. Between 1832 and 1839 Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first electric carriage. Electric cars used rechargeable batteries that powered a small electric motor. The vehicles were heavy, slow, expensive, and needed to stop for recharging frequently.

Both steam and electric road vehicles were abandoned in favor of gasoline-powered ones. Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz invented highly successful and practical gasoline-powered vehicles that looked and worked like the cars we use today.
