Old Cars

in those years: the manufacturer Old Cars did only the chassis and offered to buyers or to arrange for one of the standard bodies (why it had its own brand, the body shop), or to contact third party bodywork Studio for your individual body work that has cost much more expensive. So often did the producers vehicles of category "Suite" until the end of the thirties.

The number and the location of the wheels: The vast majority of cars have 4 same wheels located at the corners of the rectangle. Some had more the number of wheels — 6 or 8. There was also an experimental model with diamond-shaped arrangement of wheels — 1 front center, 1 rear center, 2 on each side in the middle part of the car. These exotic options were unsuitable for mass cars. Further we will talk only about the usual location of the wheels (4 at the corners of the rectangle). Options the location of the wheels and engine location. Location steered wheels: The steered wheels are doing either front, or all. The car with the rear driven wheels would be extremely prone to drift, therefore, this scheme is used only on slow machines (for example, forklifts).

When all managed wheels use special algorithms. It would seem that it would be logical to rotate the rear wheels to the same angle as the front, but the opposite direction. However, such a car again would be very prone to drift, therefore this system is applicable only for slow-moving machines (for example, on ATVs, where the movement of the rear wheels in the same rut, and front, reduces the resistance on soft ground). On a normal the car rear steered wheels at a high speed are rotated in the same direction as the front (but at a smaller angle) it improves protivozanosnoy properties of the car, and at low speed they turn in the opposite direction to improve manoeuvrability.

Sometimes driven rear wheels turn in the same direction, and front, when a small angle of rotation of the front wheels, and in the opposite direction with a large the turning angle of the front wheels — in this case, it is assumed that the driver turns the steering wheel at a large angle only at low vehicle speed. LAYOUT OPTIONS OF THE CAR: (Bonnet and wagon). BONNET LAYOUT — MERCEDES-BENZ S-600 W 100. WAGON LAYOUT — the Soviet machine "protein". HALF-COWL LAYOUT — YERAZ-3730. The vast majority cars the front part of the body has a small height — there is the engine or (if the rear engine layout) trunk. Driver is behind this volume of small height and looks over it. It forms a conventional layout.

There were numerous attempts to move the passenger compartment of the car to the extreme front the position (and the wagon). According designers, it had to be a better management interior space and better view from the driver's seat. The USSR had the experimental car wagon US-013 and "Protein". However, the car layout with the placement of the driver and front passenger in the area of the front wheels hampers entry and exit; it also creates the problems with passive security security. On buses, these problems not so significant, and wagon layout became standard. There is also a half-cowl layout — the hood and windshield heavily tilted so that merge into one surface, and that provides a "oneobject" body although the front end is still busy with the engine, as with regular bonneted layout The location and the layout of the drive wheels: Rear-wheel drive design the transmission of the car, when the torque produced by the motor is transmitted to the rear wheels. It is implemented can be very different mutual arrangement of the engine Old Cars and transmission (see illustrations).
