Book Description
196 pages, with more than 400 illustrations and charts, plus 77 wiring diagrams, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a 'must have' for any owner of a 1950 through 1969 motorcycle, scooter or moped equipped with a Wipac electrical system. Wipac issued two ring-bound versions of this manual. The first was titled 'Number 3 Manual' and the second 'Motorcycle & Scooter Manual' but unfortunately, the publication dates of the individual pages were not identified. However, based on the contents, we can estimate that they were published in 1964 and 1969 approximately. The later manual contains considerably more information plus numerous updates to the data in the earlier manual. Unfortunately, some of the information from the earlier manual was also omitted from the later manual as it was probably considered to be outdated. However, as that outdated information is of significant interest to today's owners and restorers, we have combined the entire data from both manuals into a single publication. Please note, that wherever the earlier data had been updated, we have only included the latest update in order to prevent duplication of information. This 'combination' manual includes alternator and generator testing and servicing instructions, spare parts illustrations and part numbers plus Technical Data Sheets and Service Bulletins that provide additional information due to model updates and/or electronic equipment modifications. It also includes wiring diagrams by individual model type including: A.J.S., Ariel, B.S.A., Dayton, Dunkley, Excelsior, Francis-Barnett, James, Matchless, Norton, Piatti, Raleigh (mopeds) and Triumph. The entire content of this publication is devoted to the operation, testing, servicing, maintenance, overhaul and adjustment of all the major Wipac electrical components utilized by the various manufacturers listed above. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, these manuals are extremely difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this combined reproduction as a service to all owners, restorers and enthusiasts of 1950-1969 Wipac equipped motorcycles, scooters and mopeds.

Speed and How to Obtain It

Author: J. E. G. Harwood
Publisher: Veloce Enterprises, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781588501479
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 196

Book Description
184 pages, 64 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published by Lliffe & Sons of London UK in 1925, this is a faithful reproduction of the 8th impression 1962 Floyd Clymer U.S.A. Edition published under special arrangement with Lliffe. From its initial introduction in 1925 'Speed and How to Obtain It' subsequently progressed through a number of editions and impressions and ultimately became one of the best selling motorcycle 'tune up' books ever. The 'dated information' contained in this publication is considered valuable today by those enthusiasts interested in vintage motorcycle racing, tuning and modification. Consequently, this makes the 1962 8th impression the most complete and desirable edition of this book. While predominantly a technical work, it is written in terms easily understood by the layman. To paraphrase the author, "This book is intended for the man whose technical knowledge is not on a par with his skills as a mechanic." Obviously, the primary focus of this publication is on 1960's and prior British motorcycles. However, the reader is reminded that engineering theory and the laws of physics do not change and as such, much of the information is also applicable to the current crop of high revving imports. In addition, there is a comprehensive section on modifying the two-stroke engine for both street and competition work. 'Speed and How to Obtain It' is considered by many knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts to be one of the better books ever written on how to improve, modify and fine tune a vintage British motorcycle engine. Therefore, it is our pleasure to offer this reprint to vintage British motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.

Vikings in the Attic

Author: Eric Dregni
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452931372
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312

Book Description
Growing up with Swedish and Norwegian grandparents with a dash of Danish thrown in for balance, Eric Dregni thought Scandinavians were perfectly normal. Who doesn’t enjoy a good, healthy salad (Jell-O packed with canned fruit, colored marshmallows, and pretzels) or perhaps some cod soaked in drain cleaner as the highlights of Christmas? Only later did it dawn on him that perhaps this was just a little strange, but by then it was far too late: he was hooked and a dyed-in-the-wool Scandinavian himself. But what does it actually mean to grow up Scandinavian-American or to live with these Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Danes, and Icelanders among us? In Vikings in the Attic, Dregni tracks down and explores the significant—and quite often bizarre—historic sites, tales, and traditions of Scandinavia’s peculiar colony in the Midwest. It’s a legacy of the unique—collecting silver spoons, a suspicion of flashy clothing, shots of turpentine for the common cold, and a deep love of rhubarb pie—but also one of poor immigrants living in sod houses while their children attend college, the birth of the co-op movement, the Farmer–Labor party, and government agents spying on Scandinavian meetings hoping to nab a socialist or antiwar activist. For all the tales his grandparents told him, Dregni quickly discovers there are quite a few they neglected to mention, such as Swedish egg coffee, which includes the eggshell, and Lutheran latte, which is Swedish coffee with ice cream. Vikings in the Attic goes beyond the lefse, lutefisk, and lusekofter (lice jacket) sweaters to reveal the little-known tales that lie beneath the surface of Nordic America. Ultimately, Dregni ends up proving by example why generations of Scandinavian-Americans have come to love and cherish these tales and traditions so dearly. Well, almost all of them.* * See lutefisk.
