English-French and French-English Dictionary of the Motor Car, Cycle, and Boat

1915 was the golden age of the horseless carriage, when cars were still novel enough to need explaining and the vocabulary of motoring was being invented in real time. This bilingual dictionary captures that moment of linguistic invention, translating technical terms for engines, chassis, carburetors, and hulls between English and French at a time when both nations were racing to define the future of transportation. Whether you're decoding a 1915 Parisian catalog or tracing the evolution of bicycle terminology across the Channel, this book provides the key. It also reflects a world before global standardization, when French and English manufacturers each had their own names for the same components. A genuine reference tool for historians, restorers, and anyone curious about how early 20th-century engineers spoke about machines.
