The Pioneers

Пионеры

Karl Benz (1844-1929), the son of a railway engine-driver who died when Karl was two, studied engineering at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic. After various jobs he set up business, with successive partners in a very small way making two-stroke gas engines of his own design in 1880. Although he is entitled to be called the «inventor of the petrol car» he was reluctant to depart from his original design of belt driven horseless carriage which sold well in 1890s. Other designers were called in, and after 1902 Benz had little influence on the develop­ment of the motor car.

Карл Бенц (1844-1929), сын машиниста, который умер, когда Карлу было два года, изучал технику в техникуме Карлсруэ. После различных мест работы он организовал свой бизнес успешными партнерами, которые делали двухтактные газовые двигатели по своему собственному дизайну в 1880 году. Хотя он по праву мог называться «изобретателем бензинового автомобиля», он не желал отступать от своей оригинальной конструкции, которая хорошо продавалась в 1890-х годы. Были приглашены другие дизайнеры, и после 1902 года Бенц оказывал незначительное влияние на развитие автомобиля.

 

Frederick William Lanchester (1868-

1946), son of an architect, made Britain’s first four-wheeled petrol car of wholly native design, in 1895 with the help of his brother George. A small company was formed and production was begun late in 1899. Lanchester’s designs were always unique and ahead of their time; he was responsible for many innovations which became accepted some years later. Those include a vibrationless, fully balanced engine, splined shafts, full-pressure lubrication, lightweight pistons, disk brakes, a preselector semi­automatic gearbox, worm drive, the torsional vibration damper, the harmonic balancer and more. «Doctor Fred» was also a

pioneer authority and writer on aerodynamics, and for many years Consultant Engineer to the Daimler Co.

Фредерик Уильям Ланчестер (1868-1946), сын архитектора, создал первый в Британии четырехколесный бензиновый автомобиль полностью родного дизайна, в 1895 году с помощью своего брата Джорджа. Была создана небольшая компания, и было начато производство в конце 1899 года.  Проекты Ланчестера всегда были уникальными и опережали свое время; Он был ответственен за многие нововведения, которые были приняты спустя несколько лет. К ним относятся бесшумный, полностью сбалансированный двигатель, шлицевые валы, смазка под полным давлением, легкие поршни, дисковые тормоза, преселекторная полуавтоматическая коробка передач, червячный привод, амортизатор крутильных колебаний, гармонический балансир и многое другое. «Доктор Фред» также был пионером и писателем по аэродинамике, и на протяжении многих лет консультантом компании Daimler Co.

Henry Ford is usually credited with «inventing» mass-production, yet the idea originated many years ear­lier in the Connecticut clock trade and was developed in the American’s small-arms industry. Henry Leland in America, De Dion Bouton in France and Lanchester in England all based their car production on fully interchangeable machined components, with the minimum of hand-fitting, some years before Ford.

Генри Форду обычно приписывают «изобретение» массового производства, но идея возникла на много лет раньше в Коннектикуте при торговле часами и была разработана в американской стрелковой промышленности. Генри Леланд в Америке, Де Дион Бутон во Франции и Ланчестер в Англии — все основывали производство своих автомобилей на полностью взаимозаменяемых обработанных компонентах, с минимальной ручной работой, за несколько лет до Форда.
